In contrast, increasing the minimum wage doesn't directly affect how municipalities are run given that most are limited to only collecting property taxes so the loss of workers isn't that harmful to tax revenues. |

I think what he's saying is that welfare payments are "run through" the local government which then collects taxes on productive activity while a wage increase is borne by the consuner more directly. Since less hands "touch the money", overall cost should be less. |

Local balkanized distribution of welfare is the worst thing possible, and if we're going to implement a strong welfare state it needs to be done at the national level so we don't have states dumping their poor and sick citizens on states that have decided to care for their citizens. |

I can sell you a book on how to do accounting for foodservice. It's not dependent on a single employee. The original article just said cost of doing business.That's the record breaking taxes, and fees. Most of which you never hear about nor see in your check. The taxes fees and wages of those who do the daily shipments of foods. Fat food taxes. Regulatory fees, it's expensive to file their taxes and sales taxes in some cities. I can cite you a department store that circled a city completely once and refused to open IN said city. And so on. Like how it takes, what was it 47 days or something just to open a lemonade stand in NYC. Or how it takes millions of dollars just to file the paperwork for a keystone pipeline, but with no results. That factors into your gas prices btw. The people who did the keystone pipeline must've been what everyone calls speculators. They speculated they weren't going to be the first pipeline ever denied by politics. |

And the cost of goods and services has gone up because of increased cost of labor much of it artificially regulated. Its somewhat similar to how rent control/stabilization has caused rents to be higher. |

Yes but forcing the increase in wages causes the price of goods and services to go up along with it. So the increase in wage is lost because the worker is also a consumer and now also has to pay more for goods and services. |

We only had non-republican for two years, but over in the senate owing to senate rules, they could still kick up shit even then. Could had a budget there, but alas ... still enough GOP around to screw it all up with those filibusters.Hopefully this time around, the senate can be 70/30 and we can get some stuff done. Then again, it's 2012 and so maybe Alex Jones will introduce us to our reptilian overlords. :) |
