For every person complaining that this will negatively affect these companies. Or the one's saying people should have the right to be treated like shit.
STOP!
Stop asking to be shit on. Stop apologizing for the same entities that are destroying your health and happiness in exchange for more profits. NOT for you, but only for them.
Companies should be paying every person that is employed a living wage. That means an income above poverty line. Otherwise, the support those people need, comes from my taxes. Increasing the cost to every American, rather than the people directly benefiting from those people's labor.
Less than 1% of the people that read slashdot are in the top 1% of earners in the US. And, less than 10% of the remaining will ever become part of that fabled 1%.
Every bit of legislation that decreases a billionaires wealth, is probably good for the rest of us.
Stop being a Gerry. Stop bending over and begging the rich to fuck you harder in the ass.
