Come on
No, you "come on".
Link me to something that says a Subway owner makes big bucks and can afford to pay another $50K a year in wages.
Guys making $100K a year shouldn't be forced to make $50K so slobs that slap ham on bread can make $30K? AFTER investing $200K and creating the place for the slobs to work?
I've got news for you:
I could open a Subway if I wanted to. I'd chop off my junk and eat it raw on a bun before I'd spend $200K for the "privilege" of making $50K a year to baby sit HS kids and stoners.
I can keep my money invested and get a 40 hour a week job and do better than that.
If this becomes nationwide you will see:
A. Inflation
B. Mom n Pop businesses close
C. Higher prices at places that pay minimum wage
Small business owners shouldn't have to foot the bill for decisions politicians and big business made.
Nobody is forced to work for $7/hour, they should learn some skill if they want more.
