Reply #11: i hear a lot on this board take business concern to the ceo [View All]

the big man that has million dollar packages. the reality is the majority business is small business, and they are also the ones paying the majority of the taxes. my father owns businesses, my husband owns a business. he bought it over two years ago. he is taking all the risk,. his home is the one that can be taken away. he worked for the company for a decade before he bought business. he hasnt had a raise in five years, because he cant afford it. he had given business a loan at one point, and because they were cash shy, his pay came back in form of his loan, so basically he worked for free for 6 months.

to automatically go to as long as the ceo takes the cut too, isnt fair, nor is it reality. minimum wage increase will effect the small businesses barely surviving if that, many bankrupt. between trying to pay a fair wage, the taxes, oh the taxes and the outrages healthcare for employees, i promise, my husband, who works 14 hour days, at least 6 days a week is struggling and not profitting, let alone in the millions

btw, we pay well above minimum cause i am a believer people should be able to have opportunity to pay bills if they are going to put in 40 hours. so i dont need to hear what a pig i am. got that in another thread, when talking from employeer point of view
