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 Republicans 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.

That’s fine because I didnt vote that year.
Paid by whom? Businesses that are struggling to survive and are at least employing some people? FDR did the same thing during the Depression when he brought in Social Security. Businesses suffered and closed and people who were working had fewer dollars to spend. The economy then tanked again.
i cant believe i voted for this bunghole
my vote would have been more useful had I written in “goofy and pluto” on that ballot
eesh...
I don't like class bullies, but, if they would take care of Romney, I would support them just this once.
he can’t come up with any non-democrat idea.
Isn't the tax credit applied at the end of the year when taxes are filed? This don't make sense......
If so, he has just put every open restaurant out of business......
LOL,
These politicians are predictable, obvious, and idiotic in how they try to pander and throw themselves in front of these issues, showing what “leaders” they are.
I call the RNC every time this idiot makes a comment...lol
Let’s test it first by putting all congress and their staffer at $12 an hour, no overtime.
I got sucked in. Regretted it ever since.
FYMR.
Hie off to Kolob, Moron.
FUMR. STFU and GTFO. And take your Magic Underpants with you. ESAD then FOAD.
He wants to wreck the economy, because Orange Man bad...
I wonder what he is hiding. Romney is probably as corrupt as the rest of the DC crowd.
He fooled me. He and that POS Paul Ryan.
Funny how nothing...during this lame impeachment debacle do we hear from Bush, or Ryan or Romney calling out the Dems.
No, total waste. I blame Bush, more than anyone, for selling us out to China and the rest.
Trump has raised the bar for us once again. Never again will there be do nothing presidents.
So his Bain and Company pals can scoop them up for pennies on the dollar.
The only way this would be “temporary” is when the minimum wage is raised above $12/hr...
Mitt Romney should have resisted his knee jerk reactions to everything that we the people believe in.
Now fortunately, everyone but CNN and MSNBC tunes him out.
Or is he vying for Biden's VP slot? The guy is utterly stupid.
The man is economically retarded
