        @MotherJones If your business cannot employ staff at reasonable (livable) pay, it isnt a viable business

        @MotherJones I think they deserve bigger tax cuts so that they can pay their employees a living wage.

        @MotherJones Guess it's better that people get fired then. Or automated out of a job. #idiocy

        @MotherJones No if you can't pay your employees a living wage, you don't need to be going into business.

        @MotherJones Small businesses with 20 or under employees should be exempt; they are like the 99% who find it difficult to stay afloat.

        @MotherJones as a nation, we subsidize big companies, I would prefer to help small businesses so that they can grow.

        @MotherJones Fuck no! Make them pay the same as the rest. It's not fair to their employees that they work for a small business.
