Protester:  I dropped out of High School and never got my GED

Me:  Good luck in that...Let me ask you one more question and I'll let you go...Why do you feel entitled to whatever amount minimum wage?

Protester:  Man, for all we do, we deserve that raise, we bust our asses for small wages, low hours and the companies we work for our making mad profits.
