I find it hard to believe that the higher income and payroll taxes offset the job losses. When the fast food minimum wage went up they just automated everything. Now they have one person person per shift making $22/hr instead of several people making $15/hr or whatever it used to be. There's no way payroll and income tax revenue is higher now. Are they really this retarded or is something else going on? I feel like it could be either one.
