Another minimum-wage ‘told-you-so’ story at Zero Hedge: “Payroll Tsunami”: Small Businesses Layoff Workers To Comply With Minimum Wage Law

Money quote: “Small businesses are being forced to lay off workers in order to comply with a law demanding an increase in wages…several mom-and-pop coffee shops and restaurants, are responding by cutting hours, eliminating jobs or closing down entirely because they can’t keep up with rising wages under the law.” (emphasis added)

That’s why the Big Corporate coffee shops and restaurants push minimum wage laws, because they know such laws will drive their smaller competition out of the market.

Once again, we see evidence of Democrat policy purporting to ‘help the little guy’…

…that in reality helps the Big Guy.

And it’s not accidental ‘unintended consequences’ either, folks: the same results have played out EVERY TIME such minimum wage hikes have hit a city or town near you.

That’s.How.They.Roll.
