And if they do pass on enough of the costs, competitors in lower cost areas can undercut their prices and so drive them out of business. E.g. China. | |
| Nov 6, 2017 at 19:20 | comment | added | Magisch | @Acccumulation Thats why you also have a higher minimum wage and strong labor unions for as many professions as possible - to prevent employers from passing the cost on. | |
| Nov 6, 2017 at 18:18 | comment | added | Acccumulation | No, corporations pass the cost on with lower wages. The group that bear the cost is workers without children, who receive lower wages without the compensation. Your assertion that corporations and upper class have sole control over legislation is absurd. | |
