"People doing most of the work."
Are those people willing to take on the liabilities that an owner has? If the company gets sued because of something the employee did, are they going to pony up? Did they conceive and build the business? Would they have the opportunity for work w/o the owner in the first place?
Statements like that smack of entitlement mentality. Not saying you have it, but it sounds socialist to me.
I saw first-hand what turning the minimum wage into a "living" wage did to Seattle businesses when the commies got into the City Council.
Many businesses have left the city, thus reducing income to the government that put the stupid rules in place.
Kids aren't getting jobs, because they don't qualify in experience for $15 dollars. Thus, reducing the potential workforce and entry level jobs.
Ridiculous, IMO.
