Umm… no. They couldn’t afford it and got rid of the employees. Businesses are not charities. If the employees created 20 dollars an hour in value, they would have been kept. They didn’t. So they will be let go. Laws have consequences
Right. And that is exactly why taxes need to be increased on the parent corporations back to the 90% level we had when Republicans weren’t greedy, self-obsessed paychopaths.
Yes, but the tax cuts were conditional upon actually contributing to society in providing jobs. That was the entire point. It is a much better system than letting someone amass an ord as much wealth as possible without contributing anything to to the society that gives them the freedom to do so. They wanted tax cuts they had to earn them. They weren’t just freely given and guaranteed in exchange for a pac donation. The system that we have now that conservatives keep defending is called corruption in any other Nation.

You realize the rate was never really used? The amount of deductions were much greater back then. In effect you’d be giving them a huge tax cut.

Bullshit. Mcdonalds pays ~$22/hr in Denmark. If they can afford it there, they can afford it here.

Thank you for the additional evidence to prove that the idea that a wage hike to $20/hr is quite possible.
The number of people around here licking the boots of the rich is ridiculous.
