California exists in the pepetual state of commotion!

There are no economic side effects to this. There never are when liberals wave their magic wands.

As passed, the bill permits 6 weeks (down from 12) paid leave (100% of pay)

Help me out here. They don't even have a family leave bill as law yet, right? So they are proposing 6 weeks of pay, right? They are proposing taxing all working people at an extra 1%, right?

Those getting 6 weeks pay for family leave, where they had none are getting a pay cut???

Those getting taxed an extra 1% (and rising), aren't?

This is Alice in Wonderland!

I have always felt that businesses should be friendly to working moms (and dads) and support family leave WHEN it is the decision of the business. It should be an incentive to hire and retain good employees. When one business offers these incentives in order to recruit good employees, then both the business and the employees benefit. The business because the best and brightest will want to work at the best company, and the employee because of the perks.

But no business should be FORCED to offer ANY benefits or incentives.
