the reason you small shop guys can't find good help is because you have nothing to offer them. no Retirement, no medical,optical,dental, the list goes on. they are out there but not going to work for $10-15 bucks an hour with no benefits.
Are you really this big of a Dick with every breath you take?
I own a small business, we employ a lady part time as a bookkeeper, we pay her 12 bucks an hour, she suggested the wage, is tickled to get it, and we offer no benefits.
I have only VA, as a veteran, my wife has no insurance.
Can't see paying through Obamacare for a lousy policy that has huge deductibles. Rather roll the dice and pay as I go.
Some employees, like her, have a spouse that has good coverage.
My retirement is the inventory of cars on my lot that continues to grow because I work my butt off to make it work, along with my spouse.
You really should think before you open your mouth, there are PLENTY of people out there that would LOVE to have a job that pays 10-15 bucks an hour and teaches a viable skill, such as someone would gain as an apprentice under somebody like Monte.
sorry if the truth bothers you.
