The government does not have the right to set an hourly pay rate.

So do they get tax free $2600 a month unemployment benefits?

[PGR88]

If someone wants to pay their employees $15, $25 or $200 per hour to make pizza, that’s their decision. Happy employees are part of any business’ success. They can succeed or fail by their own merits.

But for the State to force it on everyone is just fascism.

Liberals are able to create and live in their own fantasy land, where everything is perfect. Everyone else, including business owners and employees have to live in the real world. Fantasies don’t do very well in the real world.

When a master Progressive plan comes together it fairly lights up the area for miles around with a halo of social justice and equality for all ... it is downright inspiring and hopefully they will hoard it to themselves in their Progressive utopias!!!

They've been doing it since 1938

“The government does not have the right to set an hourly pay rate.”

I’ve wondered how they’ve been getting away with it for as long as they have. Just hope Gumper goes out of business! It will serve him right.

The elites will stop buying these pizzas complaining about too high a price. Then they will see unemployed students milling about wondering why they can’t get jobs or afford to eat. So of course the solution is to raise the minimum wage.

Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits haven’t been non-taxable in many years. Also, with the exception of one state, EMPLOYERS pay the taxes that go into UI, not the employees.

[JRandomFreeper]

The real minimum wage is $0.00. Libs forget that.

Sales at Gumper’s locations have plunged 25% in the last few months, forcing Gumper’s to close during lunch hours at some locations.

Gumper admitted, “The necessity of paying people a living wage in the Bay Area is clear, so it’s hard to argue against it, and it’s something I’m really proud to be able to try doing. At the same time, I’m terrified of going out of business after 18 years.”

Wow...you can't fix stupid...

If you think employers pay for an any employee related expense or benefit, I have a really nice bridge in the south part of Manhattan Island I'd love you to meet with my realtor to have a look at...

The government has the right to do whatever we'll put up with.

Closing during lunch? I’m not sure wage and price are the issue.
