Business owners get breaks most folks don't get.

They are priority over everyone else.

You have now left an older man and wife without a job along with their two employees. And you have eliminated an inexpensive and convenient place for students, faculty, and staff to meet and have lunch.

Way to go.

Thanks for a post that didn't mention race. Maybe it's racist because this couple was put out of business because of a government regulation.

Those making $18,000 are making much less than the average American family.

And, those making $18,000 are less than 20% of workers-not 44%.

If you're not making a profit, then you don't need a business.

They are making very little "profit" since their income is less than $40,000 (for both of them). Their age and health make it very difficult to get a better job and they can live off their business income.

What is the minimum wage if not wages set by government? What is the Davis - Bacon act?
