Bill: R.I.4311 Freedom of employment 3
Details
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 4312
Description[?]:
| The minimum wage is another device that the big corporations use for to incapacitate upstart competitors. The unions use it to lock out people from the workforce. Employments that cannot motivate the minimum wage can never be taken on, employers cannot hire and so people remain unemployed. We have now got taxes down to a bearable level. We should continue to lower income taxes instead of prohibiting employments that cannot pay enough to reach the minimum wage threshold. |
