Such a proposal is flat-out stupid. It sounds great to the uninformed, but then they fail to consider that SOMEONE is going to have to pay for these unproductive days. Most large corporations already have some form of paid time off. So guess who this hits? Small businesses, of course. And who's going to pay for the business owner's sick days? Also, how many jobs will be cut to pay for this proposal? To your typical moron, it sounds great to mandate that your boss pays for your sick time ... until your boss can't even afford to have you on the payroll anymore. Now you went from maybe losing a couple of days worth of income to losing your income altogether. This is nothing more than liberal "feel-good-ism". What will they do when businesses set up shop in municipalities surrounding Milwaukee, rather than within the city proper? Maybe that guy who was going to open up a shop in a blighted area, helping to improve the community, just won't do it now. What's next: a mandate regarding how many jobs a business must provide? |
