Unrealistic Liberal Politicians

Leave it to politicians to pile on with idiotic schemes during a deep recession. They see to bash business so that less people are employed.

How do you get business in this predicament? Make it more expensive to hire, especially with small business. After all, they may have fewer lobbyists to pester politicians.

Example: In the most liberal of liberal bastions, New York City, their inept City Council decided to give mandatory sick pay to all, whether small business could afford it or not. If you have over 10 employees you must give 9 sick days, if less than 10 employees, 5 sick days. Or pay $1,000 fines. So, if you are a small operator, and you cannot afford the added costs, you go out of business. For that burden goes with ever-increasing minimum wages.

Small business is suffering acutely from the Great Recession, so even if they remain in operation, small business just hires less help.

Yet, everyone in Washington on the left is happy, particularly those who show voters how they are out to help “workers.”
