What they don’t tell the minimum wage employees, is this will, put them in a new tax bracket. They will now pay more withholding taxes, and now they won’t qualify for the supplemental support for Obamacare. Yes those minimum wage employees will now have to pay full price for their healthcare tax. So, who really benefits, it is the ones that tax these minimum wage employees. That sweet girl looking forward to seeing the increase in take home pay, may be up for a bit of a disappointment in the coming months. The design was never to help the workers, it is to generate more taxable income for government. Oh, and all you excellent table waitstaff, you can kiss tips goodbye. Remember to thank a Democrat, when your not making the take home pay you used to. You are now supporting all their Democrat take from the “rich” give to the poor programs. Don’t you feel a special warmth for that?
And, all you graduating high school seniors. Just think how much harder you will have to compete with older and more skilled people for the ever shrinking pool of remaining jobs, that used to be considered entry level, but now are too expensive to offer to you. Thank a Democrat for that too. Remember they had good intentions, but not a CLUE about what happens when they mess with simple economic standards.
You incorporated my financial response to these min wage hikes in your answer: I will no longer tip, and if asked, will let people know that the min wage mandate is what their service is apparently worth. Those who actually are more worthy will correct their problem by finding jobs of higher value. Those who don’t ... Well ... I don’t really care what they do.
