Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou've just belted the proverbial nail right on the head here; so many people who complain about the business practices of those who choose cheap labour are quite happy to pay what the Business selling them asks. If you want poor starving tax evading multinationals to pay their staff a living wage rather than ripping them off so their CEO can have a bigger bonus be prepared to pay for it.
from the CNBC article :
With the industry estimating that one-third of its costs go to labor, he said a $15 wage would mean wage increases averaging around 60 percent, raising the cost of a $3 hamburger to $3.50 or $3.60.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

swoon, 10 - 20% price rise. of course they could cut their margins
1) lower pension payouts as they can't pay the same dividends
2) an even greater public debt seeing as however much money you give the government they'll always spend between 3% and 5% more.
That's why I don't think it's a good idea for multinationals to pay more tax.
In fact I don't tink it's much good for anyone to pay any more tax tan they already do.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

I suppose though it will hit those quieter stores hard - so a busy McD's will sell say 30000 burgers an hour and so the price increase to cover the wage increase would be small
but a small branch that does not do that level of business would suffer more - you could say that it will even out over the whole business but each branch manager will be expected to perform to a certain standard which would become hard to attain with a huge wage rise to the staff.Comment
