For a small business most people won’t. Everything is crazy expensive. My ex-father in law opened a butcher shop In the 80’s. It was a Union butcher shop because he was a Union guy. It cost him very little to open the shop. It was under 1,000 dollars. He’s retired now but thought about opening one up as a hobby. He said the sale shop would cost over 250,000 to open now. He said there is no way he’d break even. We need to find a way for people to be able to take a reasonable risk and not lose everything. They’re correct when they said it’s too expensive.
For some reason liberals think business owners are sitting on piles of cash. Most of them are paycheck to paycheck.
So they're employees should be poor because the owners want more profits?
How did you get that from what I said or what the article said ?
Because they don't want to pay a living wage to their employees yet they want all of the profits from the business.
That isn’t what they said at all.
What they did say is the risk isn’t worth the reward. Soon the employees won’t have jobs because if they can’t make enough to justify the risk, they’ll just stop doing it.
That means your town will be filed with McDonald’s and Walmarts. I guess what you’re saying is you are pro-large business and hate small business.
If the large business can pay a living wage, then yes. If you can't afford to pay your employees then your business isn't successful.
That an easy way to say you have never run a business and don’t really understand how they work.
You keep focusing on employee wages for some reason rather than the issues the owners brought up. Larger employers pay more but also hirer fewer people. There is a new loss of jobs. So instead of a “living” wage, you’d rather have massive unemployment and a boring world of large corporations.
No thanks. We need to make it affordable for small businesses to run. They’re the lifeblood of the country
