        bc otherwise the taxpayers end up having to subsidize your insufficient wages with SNAP, welfare, prisons, homeless shelters, etc.

        All of which ends up costing LOTS MORE than if you just payed employees enough to make rent & feed themselves and their children.

        that is, until the business fails because of absorbent costs and regs. Also ppl will lose subsidies for O-CARE.

        if you can't run things without paying employees wages too low to live on, your business is already a failure.

        I respectfully disagree. Pay for skill and knowledge. Most who make that claim are not biz owners.

        No, *you pay for a necessary service*. A job is not charity, you hire bc you need someone to do that work.

        If the boss isn't willing to pay him enough to survive, he should scoop the damned ice cream himself.

        When did I say someone didn't need food? Scooping ice cream is for a 16 year old who lives with their parents and works for gas $.

        Pretty simple answer to this, in the payroll system, you set the hourly wage to $15.00.
