>> Not necessarily. In your scenario, the business is profitable, so the business owner can decide whether to cut workers, profits, or both. Business owners are already nickel and dimed to death. They're not going to take that hit. As I pointed out to RW on the other thread, it is really worse, because it will prevent smaller businesses -- perhaps one employing 25-30 employees, from expanding by opening additional stores. RW's solution is to "raise prices" but that is hardly a healthy thing for a struggling economy. In some businesses you'll double payroll costs with this add on. It really isn't something that a business owner can tolerate.
