Well, I just heard of the new move to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. Sounds great on the first look, but when you talk of $15/hour wage, you fail to add in the additional cost of the employer contributions to the employee’s FICA package. That $15 actually works out to around $18 to $19 per hour.

Now I like the idea of a living wage for all, but let’s get real for a minute. In my business, I will have to cut employees, so we have 3 people that will be looking for work. I’m betting that other businesses will do the same. I will keep my kids and I will take some shifts rather than letting employees trade hours for appointments and family obligations. That will result in less $$ for the remaining employees.

Now comes the part that just pisses off liberals. Some people just aren’t worth the minimum wage. These people are the slugs of society, the people that just sit on their hands until you tell them to do something. People that have no drive or self-direction. Why are they entitled to a premium wage of $15/hour?

I will raise prices. If they’re making more money, they can afford higher prices. Prices will go up at a higher percentage than the wage increase, guaranteed.

Employees that are retained are going to expect a raise too. Why should the lower wage people get the bump and not them? They’re right, but I have to pay all these salaries, not the bottom feeding politicians.

I see this happening as the big O moves to improve his poll numbers since the failure of the obamacare rollout. This puke is desperate to leave office on a high note and as always he’ll reach out to his voter base, the poor and unemployable, to raise his numbers. Throw a dollar at them and they’ll do backflips for this p.o.s.

When did public service become a quest for a legacy? Pay more attention to your job obama and forget your legacy.

I will fire people. It will hurt. I will not care. People that go will go because they are not working as hard as I feel they should and I will not consider seniority. Go ahead obama, raise the minimum to an asinine amount and you will hurt the people that you claim you’re helping. It will make my store leaner and hopefully more profitable.

I am really starting to hate living in this country.
