So you think if a company is taxed an extra $50k, the owner will say to his wife, "Honey we have to make due with a little less this year." Or do you think they will slow raises, reduce 401k contributions, slow hiring, ect to make sure that they still live the same lifestyle theyve been living?

now be honest Ray, not partisan.

which is why minimum wage and health benefits are important to safeguard workers. you only say an extra 50k, but that much tax means high profits and paying a fair share.
if the employee is denied a raise because of the taxes then they can either show how valuable they are by going to a new job that will pay them better leaving the boss with the lesser employees who will accept lower wages until he is ready to pay fairer wages.



um it wont be one employer that pays more, it will be all of them, they will all slow raises, slow hiring, decrease 401k. the owner is not going to cancel his vacation. how can you be so obtuse?
