Wrote an article that appeared in the Rochester, NY D&C earlier this year based on what Henry Ford did back in 1914. Remember, $2.40/9hrs to $5.00/8hrs., plus changes to the work week and other benefits. It took Congress a quarter century before minimum wage laws were enacted with the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, and this was still a far cry from what Henry Ford did. Our real problem is with the tax code, not just personal or business, but also with all the taxes( Workers Compensation, Unemployment, Soc. Sec., and Medicaid and Medicare) that are payroll based taxes. Steve Reamer, LeRoy, NY [email protected]
