Romney calls for a $12 temporary increase in minimum wage
Restaurant Business Online ^ | May 4, 2020 | Peter Romeo

Sen. Mitt Romney has proposed raising the wages of restaurant employees and other essential workers by $12 an hour through July as a way of raising their compensation above what they could collect in unemployment benefits and other forms of relief.

Under the Utah Republican’s Patriot Pay Plan, employers would eat $3 of the increase, with the rest generated from a federal tax credit. For employees earning no more than $50,000 on an annualized basis, employers would get a refundable tax credit equal to $9 an hour, up to a maximum of $1,440 a month per employee.

Further proof there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between Romney and Obama.

Well now...this would certainly protect jobs and help these businesses stay a afloat at a time when revenues are down and they are struggling to keep their doors open...

This man is nuts.

Pierre Defecto is just another run of the mill democRAT. The people of Utah were idiots to place him in the Senate.

Mittens, why are you even a Republican?

You don’t have any Republican ideas or ethics.

Is he going to pay it out of his own pocket?

Then fine.

If he’s expecting ME to pay for it through taxes, forget it.

Why not just END the H1-B and OPT programs, and tech salaries will spike up across the nation. A “tax” on Silicon Valley slave masters ONLY.

Straight from someone who has probably never made a payroll in his life. This is called “kick the small business owner while they’re down”.
