UC, I'm fully aware of that. I don't agree with Biden's fiscal plans.
What I care about the most with his fiscal plans are the businesses because I believe his plan is highly flawed. You cannot have a $15 per hour minimum wage in my opinion and keep low skilled workers employed. If he sticks with that, unemployment will only increase and not decrease. I didn't have to read a Milton Friedman book to understand that about economics. I majored in Econ in undergrad... that's just going to force companies to send labor offshore even more than they do now.
I may come across as a prick on this board, but I am also a very pragmatic prick in RL.

Saying that your skill level should have no impact on your wages is ridiculous.
Not understanding that the cost of living varies wildly in different parts of the state.
The intelligent vote would have been to leave it up to Mayor's and City/ Town Councils to make such laws since they are the closest to the business owners and employee's. And if you don't like what your current boss is paying you, you walk across the street to the next town, next city and look for work. Nothing more American than that but we are slowly losing the things that make America great.
