[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage, your company is not profitable and your business is ALREADY a failure. [/quote]

+1 No more exemptions from providing leave or healthcare. All workers have the same rights, not just those who work for huge corporations. [/quote]

This is a different issue. And I think you’re wrong. Minimum wage sure. [/quote]

Workers shouldn't all have equal protections? A Starbucks employee is entitled to healthcare or FMLA but someone working for a very small business is SOL?[/quote]
Nope, I think employer sponsored healthcare is dumb. I like single payer.[/quote]

I agree but we don't have that. In the absence of single payer, all employees should have access to the same benefits, regardless of if they work at Burger King or a tiny accounting firm with 4 employees. [/quote]

I think you’re more likely to get single payer than that.  Large corporations need to pay their FAIR share. You’ll get small business support for that.[/quote]

Fair enough. I guess I'm not seeing for forest for the trees. I do hope we can get single payer soon. If I added up my out of pocket medical expenses over the past 5 years, it would be enough for a down payment on a house around here. [/quote]

Did you vote for Bernie in the primary?  Biden doesn't have single payer on his agenda.  But he has $15/hr.[/quote]
