our tax increases have outpaced the average

income. so, with tax cuts come

tax hikes (these go to repay the cuts)....one solution is that

raising minimum wage income will offset this and get people to stay

with current companies with increased tenure.

 

That also saves

companies who often pay more to recruit, hire and train new

employees then they do to keep existing good employees. Since these

small and mid sized businesses are now going to get more incentive

and tax breaks, they can use it to keep existing employees first

(stop the alarming unemployment) then use it to hire new ones

(lower unemployment) and helps the lower class from living so much

pay check to paycheck!!!
