Hey, that ain't how the system works. I had a business for 23 years, and it took me 2 years to build to the point I could hire one part time person so I could go to lunch every day. Eventually I had 4 employees, and my hours increased from 60 hour weeks to 80 hour weeks, and there wasn't a profit because the retail industry is a harsh one, plus the town I lived in lost 20% of its population overnight when environmentalists closed down a local Amoco gas plant to protest a spill 2000 miles away in Alaska. 20% of 50,000 people hurt us, and people were afraid to buy products, so we made a lot of charity quilts and guess who didn't get a pay check for the first 15 years. Yep. Me. Everybody else got their paycheck, we added social security dollar-for-dollar requirement of businesses, and it was hard. Also, I had to clean the bathroom every night.lol, that CEO is pissed that his tax breaks will expire.
He will do everything to avoid coughing up his fair share for this nation.
Small potatoes it was, but I did my best to keep my employees in the money by giving up a paycheck for a long time. My dreams of my business helping us have a blue sky retirement never materialized, but I learned a lot of good people out in the community will come into your business just to see if you're coming out okay, since I spent all spare minutes making little quilts for the handicapped day care and hospice, plus veterans hurt in Afghanistan and Iraq, eventually.
When I retired, and it was time to go down to social security, I got chewed out royally by the social security guy who said my earnings were pitiful. I knew it, but he didn't see 500+ quilts that went to my community, because we moved 1400 miles away to escape the cold weather for my little pain in cold weather issues.
It doesn't matter how many tax breaks you get when times are thin. You just do all you can to stay alive. When someone quits to get a better job, but can't find one, or because a customer treated them like pondscum when they were observably polite and helpful, which happens in ladies retail, you have to go before a labor board if you hear of one claiming to collect unemployment benefits and tell them that your wonderful employee not only didn't work the 8 months she claimed, she only worked 2 days in 2 weeks, leaving you holding the bag with no lunch hour for 10 days, and here's the books showing it. Trust me, they were not surprised. People who don't have good attendence records may not be aware that truth makes the business world go around, and all you can do is furnish your books so the people of the estate, who employ state labor agencies will not get screwed by sidewinding liars out to steal unearned benefits from that big fat piggy bank, the government.
That money is put there by businesses and wage workers, not sluff offs.
I'm just sayin'. Take it or leave it.
