Yep, business owners want cheap labor and if they have high profit margins and are forced to raise the minimum wage, they'll just pass the costs to the customer while they cut hours and benefits. All the while lobby for more tax cuts so they could use the money to lobby for more laws to squash competition that do treat and pay workers fairly.
@Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin) Big business =/= small business
Small businesses dont get tax breaks
Or tax cuts
Is it no wonder why more millennials are supporting socialism, as in actual socialism?
I know that about the small businesses.
@Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin) Part of the cost will be passed onto the customer, but those who change their prices less will receive much more business, incentivizing them to cut costs in other places to meet price demand.
@DrRisen Is that good? I doubt it.
Or, just take a hit to profit margins to prevent an even worse one later on.
@Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin) It certainly can be good. Competition forces innovation.
What about losing jobs?
Demand is staying the same. You cut jobs, you can’t fulfill that demand to its best extent. @Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin)
In short, it wouldn’t be profitable.
Minimum wage won't last long unless the rich get taxed too, because otherwise the gap will get even bigger.
The problem also is housing price inflations.
I blame pensions and the credit boom
I have no idea where this boogaloo thing comes from
Idk how you can avoid pensions, but yeah some people get ridiculous pensions.
>he doesnt know
Likely old age social aid would be more fitting.
Pensions are evil
I agree
