Where is the extra $15 coming from?

Could take it from the war budget. Could undue tax cuts for the rich. Could just print money and throw it around like they've been doing for the past two months. This question is one that only jackasses ask as a gotcha point with no substance

all I see is "could do's" which I agree with... But NONE OF THOSE DETAILS ARE PROVIDED in the link above You don't understand small businesses... We are not McDonald's or Chase... We don't have an extra $600/wk PER EMPLOYEE built into the model... But yeah go off

Way to assume what I do and don't know about business based on a rebuttle of "how do they pay for it" you do realize that legislation changes once its introduced, right? Any funding models listed would be subject to change. I just listed some options

Maybe a less triggering phrase would be "who foots the bill?" But the problem remains... A 50 employee SMB is being asked to pay out an extra $30,000 a week in wages ($15*40hrs*50emps) Most blue collar SMBs don't have that kind of margin This is why the left loses

I agree with your funding options, I am disappointed none of them are in the proposal. I'd love nothing more than to increase pay for workers but if it's not sustainable and there's no aide then SMBs will simply shutdown This is why the left loses
