text: What's alarming, as the C of C calls this beginning of honest business practices, is the relentless withholding of genuine earnings from workers across the board, and the governments that have chosen to ignore it...for a century. The old threat this coalition makes, that if the subsistence income of $15. per hour becomes a reality business will so suffer losses it will close en masse is an outright lie and nothing but the cheapest kind 
   of propaganda. 
  What it will help to do is make businessmen a little more honest in sharing its profits with the people without whom no business could function.  In fact, the people on this unrewarding treadmill have been subsidizing business forever as commerce decided long ago it could substantially increase profits by denying its staff their rightful income and keeping it. Everyone who is employed has a right to a scaled compensation just as CEOs are rated. No government has ever had the courage to enact it for fear of losing corporate funds. Shame!
