• Eighteenth century skeleton in a twenty-first century world.  
• Nineteenth century economic and social ideals in a twenty-first century world, or why I wouldn't let Ron Paul take out my garbage, much less represent me in Congress.

  Fast food workers in New York City earn just below $9.00 an hour on average, and rarely receive health care, paid sick days or other benefits that make it possible to live in an expensive urban center like New York City. These workers are also often given only 20 or 30 hours of work a week, which keeps their annual income far below the poverty line. According to organizers on the campaign, many workers have to resort to collecting public assistance, eating at their restaurants to save money and sometimes even living in homeless shelters--necessities that not only make their lives incredibly challenging but also put intense strain on the city’s social safety net.
