Small Businesses Struggle With $15 Minimum Wage Hike in NY: 'They're Shutting Down'

EXCERPT: According to a report published Monday by the Wall Street Journal, many business leaders and owners in the Big Apple have said that they are having to cut hours, raise prices, and reduce staff in their businesses due to the rising labor costs that they say come from the recent city law bumping up the minimum wage. . . .

The president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, Thomas Grech, told the Wall Street Journal that he has seen an increased number of small businesses closing in the last six to nine months. He believes the rising closures are due to the minimum wage legislation.

“They’re cutting their staff. They’re cutting their hours. They’re shutting down,” Grech said. “It’s not just the rent.”

Why no concern over workers struggling with a $7.25 wage?

You mean the ones that'll lose their jobs when it goes to $15/hour?

They should be getting unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

You’re an idiot. How about we just let them at will starve to death?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

And then what?

Higher paid labor pays more in taxes and creates more in demand. We need an upward pressure on wages on an Institutional basis.

Yeah, that won’t have any effect on the prices.

Do you not pay attention to socialist society countries? The ones where food becomes the rarest and most expensive commodity once people “at will” themselves onto government welfare?

Explain to me what natural right you have to be on welfare and live off of my labor. Is there a ******* natural right to be a lazy piece of shit we have to keep alive?

Equal protection from what? Not paying your own food bill? WTF are you even talking about here.

Is this the shit you retards learn in school these days?

You have a natural right to my money and equal protection not to ******* work?

**** off. I think I should have a right as a taxpayer to have a live video stream of you starving to death instead of going to work and feeding your own lazy ass. Passing on jobs “at will”. And ******* dying, “at will”. I’ll check in on you often.

Hey, if that means I don't have to read your rubbish that works for me.

We keep telling these stupid Moon Bats that they are dumbasses and a disaster for this country. Even when we show them the disastrous consequences of their idiot big government polices like mandatory wages they still don't don't get it.

Everything they touch turns to shit.

Progressives hate small business

 

[danielpalos]

...no, we don't. We simply expect more than reliance on cheap labor in our first world economy.

 

[Rustic]

Small business is really hard for the federal government to control that’s why progressives hate small business
