Correct.
The whole premise of his argument is based on wealth redistribution.
I’m sure he wants restaurants to be ordered to pay waiters $15.00 per hour.
Regardless of the fact that means many restaurants will have to raise prices, lose customers as a result, and then of course go out of business.
No so-called “progressive” is happy just personally doing good, but they are ever eager to authorize government to reach into other people’s wallets.
Have you ever heard that charity is insufficient guff? No one pretends that government doesn’t let folks slip through cracks so that it would be literally sufficient; but, being voluntary is what made charity insufficient and bring forced is why government is. If you don’t HAVE to give (at the office) it’s immoral.
Many of the customers he is asking to leave 30% tips probably make less money than the waiters.
So much for redistribution...
Maybe they should compare tax returns and the waiter leave a tip for the customer. After all its about redistribution and not service.
