"Restaurants are struggling to stay above water, and Democrats just threw them an anvil," California Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher told FOX Business. "We warned Democrats this new mandate would cost jobs. They ignored us, and here we are with the highest unemployment rate in the country poised to get even worse."

Again, @Goldenforce772 saw this coming.

Why should people serving fast food get $20 an hour? I have a friend fresh out of college that doesn't get $20 an hour!
