It's kind of a vague comment. Tongue

It discourages the hiring of younger, less experienced workers. If we are selling this as a living wage, let it apply to those who are likeliest to have to support themselves. And if not, there should be no age cutoff.

I understand your concern, hence my original version, but I'm willing to compromise on this.

Quote from: Senator North Carolina Yankee on November 20, 2011, 05:10:13 PM
What is so vague about it? It asks whether we should use tax credits or tax deductions or even something else to help give small business some relief from the impact of this, aleast intially, so as to avoid them resorting to layoffs. We can even make it conditional on layoff decisions if so desired.

Draft a possible amendment doing this and I'll comment. Smiley

I'd be fine with something along those lines, though 500k would need to be clarified. Revenue, gross income, something like that.

Both sponsors have accepted this as friendly. Senators have 24 hours to object.

While this is what I initially preferred, I want this to pass, and the President was opposed to 21...

The amendment passed as friendly.


I have mixed feelings on the age aspect, and I think it would just be best to have a vote on Napoleon's amendment...

Senators, please vote aye, nay, or abstain on the following amendment:

I'm offering an amendment to change 18 back to 21.
