          Then choice of job is something to consider. And many hourly ppl do, that is just a fact.

          but is it the function of the govt to further dictate what a struggling small business does w/ their money?

          yes. the cause is good, but forcing businesses to pay for good things puts some out of business altogether.

          It's part of the way a company competes. If offers such benefits, greater attraction for best workers.
