I think several posts illustrated that even if the $12.00/hr employees paid the rate of income tax here they would be better off making almost double the income and having free healthcare thrown in.

We (most states) also offer "free" healthcare to some. But, our patchwork system ends up with us (taxpayers) paying almost as much (if not more) to administer the system than to actually provide healthcare.

Socialism is not the real issue here, the real issue is how inefficient we are being the richest nation and earth ensuring the health and welfare of our poorest citizens.

Its your money you get to spend it as you see fit.

Denmark if you're making $22/hr, you're basically making $15/hour after tax. Still better than $12.

Widespread socialism doesn't really even exist Europe, it's just more socialist than here. No one here seems to freak out that the government runs the postal service or the DMV. Both of which are privatized in some European countries.

It always has a backup because most mornings they have a very minimal staff there.

This is true, that $7/hr (35% tax = about $1100/mth) includes all your taxes plus it is also paying for your health insurance that covers everything, and 6 weeks of vacation. The insurance is actually Universal and covers everything.

Nope, second. Dollar General will have been there long before.

Price will be higher than $ 1.25 by than

Except-----your "35% average tax rate" includes all citizens----how many pay no tax (like 47% here), and therefore what is the TRUE rate among those that actually pay taxes (thereby supporting the other half).

Google can be your friend. Denmark's top bracket is about 55%, but they also have a VAT of 25% (value added tax) and a GST of 9%. And they also have something that would never go over in the US----a 0.7% church tax for the Church of Denmark (if you are a member)

Can't wait for them to build a quality restaurant like Subway or Jersey Mike's Perfect fit for here

That’s funny.

Gee Zeus! They're out of their minds. Well, I guess the Morse's have to get their "Villages Vig" and franchise fees are high. Not surprised I guess. Do they at least still give free peanuts?

Same price at Five guys in states other than TV. Developers need to reevaluate, cause their reputation of high rent maybe falling by the wayside of other landlords.:shrug:

Actually, yes, although I don't know why they ever opened one there to begin with.... The put one in pretty much a residential neighborhood next to a high school. They closed it within 3 years. They already had one 2 miles away on a busy interstate, so unless they thought they were going to make a killing on student lunches or after school snacks, I never understood why they opened one where they did.

You know they have a White Castle in Orlando....
