"Companies need to produce the same level of work, so they may need to hire and train more people. Would the tax breaks offered be enough to cover these extra expenses? This could cause businesses to really sweat."

It's funny how the criticism is basically "But this will create more jobs!"

I also can't help but notice how her personification of businesses (as things that can "really sweat") and empathy for them far exceeds the level at which she humanizes workers.

It's almost like "Mary Elizabeth Elkordy, founder of the remote-based company Elkordy Global Strategies," has a keen sense for which team she belongs to.
