“Before the government gets free with my money by upping my workers salary so that he has more money in his pocket”
but thats not their claim, they claim the point is so that he has more money to spend and buy the ice cream that he produces.
so you sell more ice cream making more profit, he buys more ice cream going to sleep happy and everybody wins!
Again, and I cant stress this enough, you can disagree with the above as many do, but understand the position correctly thats all
“You have a mega wealthy entity (government)”
I agree that the government shouldn’t be wealthy, I dont know enough (and I d think that should be readily available), where every tax dollar is spent. I was not aware that the government just hordes wealth, if they do I agree with you whole heartedly that that is wrong.
“BTW why would I be against WIC Food stamps et al …?:
In my experience, (no data to back this up) those who oppose minimum wage also oppose govt relief for the poor. All out of concern for their well being of course
