You do realize that state laws do not apply to SS? The people your hired had to be worth, to your business, at least every cent it cost to employee them which include wages, taxes, and benefits. All of them. You had a number that included the entire package. They may be paid $10/hr but you knew that the total number was more like $15. If they were not worth at least $15 you where a fool for hiring them because you would lose money. They employee earned the $15 not the $10.
Only a socialist believes the in free money. As in I get a free social security match. Do you also beleive that a matching 401k contribution by an employer is also unearned money that the employee gets for free?
You are the reason I don’t debate stoners. Do you get dizzy talking in circles?
