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.
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”
How long will it be before some genius figures out that you can use the “FAMILY” act to get themselves a paid vacation?
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.
That won’t be a problem for the ruling elite, which will just vote itself a pay raise or a cost of living adjustment.
People will just stop buying at a certain point, the companies are all going to automate anyway. This is because customers, including here on FR, apparently do not value human contact, which takes about the same time as a machine but is a good start to your day.
My deli in NY - and then my food cart and then my Starbucks - had my coffee and egg on a roll ready as soon as I walked in. Thanks for ruining this, Dems.
Who pays $4.00 for coffee?
And, why?
It's not going to raise the price of making your own coffee at home.
Where does this ditz spend $4 for a cup of arabica swill? At that price, it better be a small, 100% pure cup of Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain. And none of that blend crap where one bean in 50 is of certified stock. Even my bean grinder knows the difference, but a lib will buy it for the label on the cup to virtue signal they're part of 'the crowd'. And buy your own damn health plan. God, liberals make my brain hurt.
