My guess is the solution after that will be to tell all of the business owners that their employees need higher wages and that they have to raise the minimum wage.
IMHO no one should be allowed up on the hill until they have run a business and made it profitable so that they could demonstrate that they have some idea of where money comes from vs just deciding that they need more money, so just raise taxes, be ready the bills are coming and you know who has to pay for it.

Canada's taxes are only slightly higher than the US (

Anyways you Americans are getting fucked HARD by your government, it's brutal to watch. Democracy is a joke in the US right now, the citizens should be trying to take back their country if you ask me, right now it's run by a very few who make all the decisions and think of the rest of the people as nothing more than pawns.
