"$15/hr will kill small businesses" is this true?

24. A small business that doesn't pay their employees a decent wage is sponging off the government...

no different than any of the big businesses that do it...they cost us money and provide very little to our economy. Thus if it is a deal breaker for them. Let them go under and a business that can contribute to this Republic take their place. My sister and daughter work for Mom and Pop type businesses...these people are scum. They kept the Covid money and spent it on themselves. They didn't rehire anyone nor did they give raises or bonuses despite remaining open and having a great year. These are two different companies ...one located on Connecticut and one in Ohio. The one in Connecticut- the owner take expensive vacations and live in a mansion while providing the shittiest health insurance I have ever seen...401 k and no decent benefits. The Ohio one, the owner lives out of states doesn't pay reasonable taxes and also has a crappy benefits program. Neither give back their fair share to this country given they use our roads and bridges...utilities. So if you can't pay $15.00 per hour than find a new line of work because you are a parasite.
