I agree with this. It is societies responsibility, through their elected government, to take care of people. If we need to support people more, we raise taxes and provide more support via the government.
Holding the employer as responsible leads to things like employer provided healthcare, which ties people more strongly to their employer. Weakening the ties between employee and employer makes the workforce more dynamic and mobile.
Raise corporate taxes on every corporation based on revenue. We have a graduated system of income taxes for people, do the same for corporations. Small mom and pop companies wouldn’t see an increase. But the Amazon’s of the world would.
Why would you want to tax the people hiring the low skilled workers rather than the ones not hiring them? Please help me understand this I genuinely don't understand that position.
