Massive tax breaks anyone?

For them, yes. For smaller companies that have been bringing their manufacturing home, the bottom line was quality.

A person making low wages gives more than he's worth, but that doesn't mean he gives qualify work. One company was spending half of its profits on fixing customer complaints. When they started losing customers, they brought the jobs back home.

Somehow I don't think any of this is meant to benefit the small business owner. Trump has already proven to have a disdain for the small businesses he contracts with to build his towers.

It depends on the businessman and his moral code. I knew one such businessman.

He started everyone about 50% over minmum wage because he operated a warehouse. Factory conditions, but low wages even in that industry: food processing and warehousing.

Every month, though, employees got a quarter raise. Only company I ever worked at where they rewarded you for learning your job as you learned more. It was hard work, but worth it. Mind you, this was a "small business".

Cheap? No, frugal. Every employee was not an expense, but rather, an asset. We were responsible to make him a millionaire, and in turn, he rewarded us by making sure we could afford the basics, and then some.

Too often the small business person starts a person at minimum wage and keeps them there. Actually, most businesses, if you're lucky, may give a raise once or twice a year. When Mr troyer sold the company and retired, he shopped hard for the right buyer. One that would treat workers, customer, and suppliers fairly.

I became proficient at my job and doubled my earnings in a year. Not many companies do that. And I was just a laborer.

That's good stuff. And it's also extremely RARE.

That's the problem: it is rare. The man started his business selling chickens out of the trunk of his car and built it up to a multi-million dollar business.

It's funny. A lot if people said he didn't pay squat. He didn't, the first month. That weeded out a lot of people. But hang around, and you could make decent money. I worked 60+ hours a week for that man. I cut back to 50 when I started college, but he supported that idea. He's a good man and the world will be an emptier place without him.

my cuz works for the UAW, he makes way more than 10$ an hr.. closer to 100 with his bennies package
