One-Percenter Doesn't Want To Pay His Fair Share
From
Brian Hibbs, the owner and operator of Comix Experience, is having a difficult time confronting the reality presented by San Francisco’s new minimum wage law. The law passed in November by a huge majority requires that wages increase, as of May 1st, to $12.25 and will end up at $15 by 2018.
Anticipating only a slight increase in his costs, Hibbs was originally supportive of the law. But, then he did the math:
I was appalled! My jaw dropped.
Eighty-thousand a year! I didn’t know that. I thought we were talking a small amount of money, something I could absorb.
We’re for a living wage, for a minimum wage, in principle. . . . But I think any law that doesn’t look at whether people can pay may not be the best way to go.
