Business calls it a job killerSounds like a sure-fire thing, then. Nothing the California legislature likes better than to punish business.

You know who saw this coming years ago?
Rush Limbaugh.
When the Family and Medical Leave Act was being debated and signed he said something to the effect of "Just wait, they're not going to stop here, next is going to be getting paid not to work". Sure enough, sadly, his words turned out to be prophetic.

"The added cost of this mandated paid family leave program, plus the recently increased workers' compensation benefit levels, will place new strains on the nearly bankrupt SDI trust fund, which will mean even more SDI tax increases in the future," Broyles says.
DEMOCRATS = HIGHER TAXES.

Labor unions are calling the proposal ... a blessing for working families. Labor unions would call any pay-for-nothing proposal a blessing. That is their job, to ensure that businesses "employ" people who don't have to produce anything. That's what makes labor unions perfect communist front organizations. They are avowed enemies of capitalism, at least ideologically. In practice, they are usually just racketeers, the worst kind of capitalists.

California politicians killing the goose that laid the golden egg. They're already driving businesses out like its going out of style.
I can't wait until the well dries up completely & the leaches our state tax dollars support have to get real jobs. The hard times that will surely follow'll be worth it.

"No one should have to choose between caring for a child, or seriously ill family member, and a paycheck," Firestein says. I can't believe people think they ought to be paid for taking care of their kids or family.

This could be a boon to older workers who would now have value as reliable workers. Bet the birth rate increases in states that pass this legislation.
Yes, Rush said it first, but it was a no brainer for thinking individuals, don't you think?

California, the land of the Free Lunch. Just pass a law, and like magic, you have abundant, clean, renewable energy. Just pass a law, and vehicles quit emitting any exhaust. Just pass a law, and your employer will pay you for months even when you don't show up for work.
There are no negative consequences to any of this, because the intentions of the lawmakers are good.

It seems like the liberal states - especially KommieFornia - are rapidly reaching the point where they have more tax
consumers (moochers) than they have tax
payers (producers).
That is an unsustainable situation, and it won't be pretty when it crashes down on their heads.

If the Legislature REALLY wanted to help families, they would cut taxes or provide an incentive so that moms (or dads) can stay home with their kids. The sad fact is that many moms work because they have to help pay the bills, not because they "want" to.
