Fast food giant takes credit for killing $15 minimum wage

Sirota obtained internal company documents from Inspire Brands boasting that "we were successful in our advocacy efforts to remove the Raise the Wage Act, which would have increased the federal minimum wage to $15 and eliminated the tip credit." The company is owned by Roark Capital, named after the protagonist in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, so you can plainly see their oligarchic (corporate fascistic) agenda.

This is what we're up against in our fight for the wage hike. And the big money from such conglomerates is what fuels establishment Democrats' campaigns so you can plainly see the conflict of interest here. And likely why the Dems didn't fight like hell to get it in the Relief Bill when they could have by overruling the Parliamentarian. This rigged system has got to stop and progressives really need to openly admit their own Party is part of the problem and itself must be vigorously fought.
