Although it would be admirable to hold those feet to the fire, in reality, to fight fire with fire, the red side would have to change existing law held for decades to allow the trapping and prosecution of one individual, on trumped up charges, for non existant crimes, with stacked jury, crooked judge, and a bribed prosecuter. Nothing to do with scufflaws.
The greedy bastids simply want more payeroll taxes, as they get a percentage. The higher the wages, the more pours into the state coffers,and the best way to get more tax money is to increase wage.
The employers dont care, they just pass it on, so who actually pays the difference?
Oh yeah, the masses.
It is the most basic way lawmakers increase taxes with no blame, they actually get applauded by the very people whose cost of living just went up.
