As an alternative to a minimum wage increase, attach the corporate tax breaks to a minimum employee wage rate.

Created by J.M. on February 04, 2014

GOP wants’ tax breaks for Big Biz, DNC wants’ minimum wage increase for a living wage.
It the Tax Breaks could be attached to the lowest wage in a company, it would allow them to make there own choice on the taxes they pay.

Exaggerated Hypothetical Example:
Minimum wage in the company (mail clerk) $15k per year
Company pays 40% tax
Minimum wage in the company (mail clerk) $50k per year
Company pays 15% tax
Minimum wage in the company (mail clerk) $100k per year
Company pays 0% tax

Wallmart has 2.2 million employees How much taxes would 2.2 million employees making 50-75 k a year pay?

That’s the idea; exact workable numbers is what we pay you government guys for.
Could it work?
