What they don't tell you is that while the minimum wage has been increased, the workers who get tips (read waiters, waitresses etc...) will see their wages decrease by up to $3 per hour just because they get tips. So in a sense the public will be subsidizing these workers' wages to the benefit of their employer.
And all this aside from the tax breaks-major and minor-which is included in this bill.
Does anyone think about the people at all?
