Moreover, even though employees and employers split the FAMILY Act's payroll tax, most of the employer's share of the tax will still fall on workers. That's because, over time, employers shift the costs of new taxes onto employees in the form of lower wages. In other words, employees will shoulder most of the payroll-tax increase. The CBO accounts for some of this shifting as it projects a $42 billion reduction in federal revenues because employers will reduce workers' wages and benefits.
Reduced wages mean shorter hours. Instead of 40 hours you are lucky if you get 20, and honestly I can not blame the employers
Correction: I meant the fourth paragraph from the bottom.
So it’ll less than Starbucks. Cool!
Wait, wait, we’re already paying $4 for a $1 cup of coffee...
Who in their right minds pays $4 for a a cup of coffee?
Very little our government does actually benefits workers or the middle class.
In many ways, government regulation and our fiat money system are actually destroying the middle class and giving even more wealth and power to America’s elites.
Or, make your coffee at home and pay about 10 to 20 cents a cup. $4 cup of coffee is one of those aspirational products, but more than most, makes no effin' sense.
The same idiots that go six figures into debt they can never pay back for a useless degree.
You’re already paying $10 for a less than $1 pack of cigarettes in NY State.
I have known people who have smoked moderately their whole lives- they are in their 80’s.
Tobacco companies used to be HUGE Republican donors.
I firmly believe that if they were Democrat donors we would all be learning in school how healthful it is to “bathe your lungs in cleansing smoke”
Don’t make fun of my Gender Studies degree. I learned a lot of big words. Lots.
How long will it be before some genius figures out that you can use the “FAMILY” act to get themselves a paid vacation?
The “reward” for having a Federal Reserve where people who produce nothing worthwhile live off of the churn (needing constant inflation) is a dollar worth $0.17 Constant 1973 dollars in 2020.
bttt!
Let’s begin by not paying $4 for a $0.50 cup of coffee.
Paid Family Leave Act Will Have You Paying $10 for a $4 Cup of Coffee Which Used To Cost $0.25 With Free Refills ...
I would only pay $4. bucks for a cup of coffee if I felt like getting robbed and ripped off. I’m not feeling it.
I make my own.
No coronavirus, no spit, no smug and snarky barista....................
And $4 is too much
This act must not pass.
Maternity leave for female employees only - OK
Anything more will be destructive to all businesses - industry, manufacturing, main street retail. What happens to the job while they are out on family leave? Double up the work load with remaining employees? or hire a temporary employee during the absence? It makes an employer think twice about hiring females of child bearing age.
Paying $10 for a $4 cup of coffee shouldn’t be a big deal.
We are already paying $4 for a 25¢ cup of coffee.
