>>>The main thing is that you are making social policy and then asking employers to pay for it. You think that is fair, because you assume that the employers are merely being cheap. I think it is a market distortion, and would be better handled by socializing the burden through the EITC.<<< Well, Neocon we all "pay" for it when a Living Wage is not paid...as victims of crime, higher prison costs, increased taxes on the local level to service the poor etc... As a middleclass American I do not want to "subsidize" employers be they small business owners, large companies or big corporations. With my proposal taxpers get the benefit of the elimination of the cost of administering the credit and an end to fraudulent claims. The benefit only goes to those who show up for work.
