@SenGillibrand@tadegroot 1 who would pay for that? 2 what Constitutional authourity does the gov. have to mandate this? -
@ColtsFan254@SenGillibrand I would. It's 0.2%, which goes to a fund for those who need it. Article 1, Section 8. -
@ColtsFan254@SenGillibrand We pay taxes for many things far more ridiculous than this. -
@tadegroot@SenGillibrand I am for market forces which encourage companies to do this. And even for states who want to do this. 10th amend. -
@ColtsFan254@SenGillibrand not all companies can individually, and not all states could pass it (cough...Texas). -
@ColtsFan254@SenGillibrand making it national prevents bias for high-income earners, men over women in hiring practices, etc. -
@tadegroot@SenGillibrand but that isn't how the Constitution was constructed. Which is something largely abandoned after FDRs SCOTUS. -
@ColtsFan254@SenGillibrand but that's the existing case law. FDR and his court packing notwithstanding. - 3 more replies
