(18 posts)Where do you get off shaming me? You are the one that doesn't get how the system works. I provide jobs for 45+ people. They support other businesses. We collect about $165k in taxes for the community. Not one single employee makes less than $11/hour. I risked everything I had to start these businesses. They fail, and I am out my life's savings, plus about $175k in loans. I took a huge risk, opening in towns that needed a boost. Your screen name fits you.
If restaurants had to pay the full Fed wage, restaurants would go out of business, like has happened in OR, WA, and CA. Guess what happens then, Uppityperson? People lose their jobs. They go to work at WalMart and make much less, and spend less, and then guess what happens? More businesses go out of business.
Try to understand before you judge. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
