Hello DonaldvoTrumpovich,

I never implied that a business would fire ALL their workers. That's just absurd. Not sure how you came to that conclusion. And the car with three wheels is a ridiculous analogy.
Let me give you a better one.
I have a mom&pop Pizza restaurant with 10 employees. I'm barely making ends meet, paying the rent, meeting payroll, covering expenses. Then the gov't comes around and tells me I have to pay all my minimum wage workers (let's say there's five of them) $2 more an hour. Well, I have to pay rent, I have to buy dough, pizza sauce and cheese to stay in business but maybe I can get by with only four minimum wage workers instead of five. Guess what. That's what I'm going to do.
Now that's what you call a good analogy.
And again, I will say we agree that capitalism works using a combination of free markets and government intervention. When I said I preferred capitalism to socialism, I was making a point, not stating that capitalism can thrive with no laws to govern them. Again, you're distorting my narrative to make your argument appear stronger. It's called a Strawman argument. If you want to continue this discussion, please stop.
I didn't say fire all the workers. I said no work getting done. And that is what happens if you fire a worker. The work that worker would have done is not going to get done. Somebody else is going to have to do it. If they could have done that prior, then they have been under-utilized and the expense for the 5th worker was always wasted because of bad management planning.
It is not my intent to change your argument to suit my reply. I can easily dispute the logic of exactly what you are arguing.
Your new example is just as easy to dispute. First of all it begins with the guy who has a failing business. I'm sorry. If you're running a restaurant with 10 workers and you're not making a very nice profit? Something's WRONG with the business plan. You're one issue away from going belly up with no security cushion to fall back on? That tells me it was a bad business plan. A well-run place like that at the right location with the right product could be a goldmine. It should quickly be able to recoup start-up expenses and begin to build a nice security cushion. Within 2 years.
