What competitive effects do you foresee from your plan? You are not dealing with perfectly spherical businesses in a vacuum, as the physicists say...
What effects do you see of the fact that taxpayers subsidize working Moms at McDonald’s to the tune of $35,000 per year, but only if they’re single?
Some probable effects of my plan:
Businesses invest in employees’ productivity to make sure they’re worth the money they have to pay. Reduced demand for illegal immigrants. Increased in automation. $900 billion less in social welfare spending. Restaurants with actual English-speaking workforces becoming competitive “Hullo? You want fry with burger?” Illegal aliens, unable to find work, returning home. And, horror of horrors, the cost of a Big Mac rising 6 cents.
