Businesses paying low wages are having their labor costs subsidized by taxpayers. I have a problem with my taxes subsidizing the lifestyle of business owners that pay Americans slave wages. What part of $7.25/hour doesn’t afford housing anywhere in the US is unclear?Taxpayers weren’t subsidizing my labor costs. I was paying out at 50% of my top dollar earned in taxes, and from what was left over I paid for rent, insurance, raw materials to make my product, advertising and marketing, business equipment, and staff compensation. NONE of my employees were being subsidized.
So why all the resentment for small business owners who took a risk and then ended up providing livelihoods for four other people - all while providing a much-needed product? Could it be that you hate when someone shows that motivation, discipline, and skill can pay off - and doesn’t just take handouts from other people?
P.S. I am curious to how many people YOUR business employed, and what the lowest and highest salaries were. Thanks.
Conservatives all see themselves as captains of industry. They have no respect for the labor of hard working Americans.
