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.

Romney please STFU and leave.
Turd Romney go F yourself.
That might work on Kobol, but its not going to work here on earth.
He wants to put small businesses out of business before they are able to get back in business.
Because he knew that the simpletons of Utah would elect a liberal democrat like him if he ran as a republican.
we all have regrets lol
The only thing that I know about the government is that there is no such thing as a temporary program.
Employers should pay them with what? all the money they didn’t make the past few months?
Why are so many of the political class so brain dead, when people are called back to work, and they decide not to go back to work, they forfeit the right to collect unemployment.
Fn idiot restaurants are fighting for their lives and this jerk proposes this
I wonder if he would oppose a three month extension in July? In October? ...
If he did he would be in support of cutting the minimum wage. ha ha
Why wouldn’t he?
It’s not his money.
What does he care?
I was wondering the same thing about the tax credit. I wonder if they would just not taxes out of the checks.
“The senator’s office has since clarified that adoption of the higher wage would be voluntary, not mandated. The headline has been corrected accordingly.”
Well, pay for it out of your own pocket, Romney the Rat.
Someone needs to tell Mitty that Biden is looking for a woman running mate.
I mean, in many ways Romney does fit that category.........who knows?
KMA, Romney!
I held my nose and voted for this a-hole.
Spit
Businesses have been CRIPPLED by this man-made Economic DISASTER and Willard wants to force businesses to pony up more cash that they don’t HAVE since they’ve been crippled by this man-made Economic Disaster?
Am I getting that right?
What a doofus.
Why is the ‘severe conservative’ never proposes anything conservative?
