  2. This is how these tax-the-rich policies ironically help the rich.

  3. British Columbia would like a word with you on that.

  4. <We aren't gonna make more thanks to the business owners raising thier Prices.> To cover the increase in labor costs due to the jacking up of the minimum wage which affects smaller business the most as they're just barely breaking even.

  5. LOL. You know those tax-the-rich policies you support have done more to put small businesses under doing big retail chains a favor? Which also includes the raise in the minimum wage that many small businesses could hardly afford.

  6. <Lowering the cost of goods is what helps EVERYONE.> By lowering the cost of production and distribution.

  7.  @ansh7335  No there isn't as low-level service-sector employment was never known for paying a "living" wage. <Business want to pay slave wages> Namely small businesses not in any financial position to pay anymore than the bare minimum.

  8.  @ansh7335  Namely big business franchises. And they're not known for paying their workers more than minimum wage either. They're just known for having the financial wherewithal to undercut the smaller competitors out of the market.

  9.  @allrightsreserved3237  By Canadian standards. Convert it into USD and Canada's minimum wage is on par with every other Blue state. The real reason why prices are high are due to taxes.

  14.  @ansh7335  That only applies to states without a state minimum wage. Namely Red states.

  15.  @ansh7335  But they're the reason burger-flippers have a job, a place to work at and the means of production to do his job with.

  16.  @ansh7335  <3 people in US hold more wealth than the bottom 50% of people.> This is about Canada, not the US. And by the way, those same 3 people in the US pay more tax in real numbers than the bottom 50% earn on average per year. <Making the ultra wealthy pay their fair share in taxes ore reducing their income will.> They already do and then some.

  18.  @redneck4200000  Too bad most of the plebs are lousy with money and will still be struggling regardless.

  28.  @ansh7335  <People love living in places with better safety net, high minimum taxes.> Yet have higher crime, homelessness and are ground zero for America's housing crisis.

  29.  @ansh7335  <Ending slavery would destroy the economy. > It destroyed the South's economy. It destroyed the economies of some African kingdoms that relied on the slave trade for economic survival.

  30.  @matthews95_  <instead you have slacker agency workers> Cons: hit-or-miss productivity. Pros: less costly to fire, don't have to pay them anything beyond a standard wage, don't have to officially hire them even if they prove themselves worthwhile.
