Many times business cannot pass on the costs to the consumer simply because they will lose their competitiveness in the market. That is a major reason why our manufacturing base has moved out.Right wingers are simply disingenuous about raising the minimum wage. Businesses pass on costs to the consumer all the time. It seems right wingers only have a problem with that capitalist modus operandi when the Poor may benefit.Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told CNN in an interview on Sunday that he and presumably other Democrats “don’t want low-wage” small businesses as he advocated for increasing the minimum wage. “We don’t want low-wage businesses,” he said when asked if mom and pop shops should be forced to pay employees more. “I think most successful small businesses can pay a fair wage.”
No beating around the bush there. The Rich and big-time Corporations only. F these local businesses who don't succeed by economies of scale. No open market of ideas. If you can't pay what I think you should, you should be erased.
The latest daily example of Leftist totalitarianism.
Once again, you fools add one plus one, and come up with five.
The Representative did NOT say that Democrats want to eliminate small businesses, YOU DID. He said that Democrats want businesses to pay a living wage.
Please stop putting words into peoples' mouths that they did not say. It's just another way of lying.
