LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder on Friday signed laws to significantly scale back citizen-initiated measures to raise Michigan’s minimum wage and require paid sick leave for workers, finalizing an unprecedented Republican-backed legislative maneuver that opponents blasted as shameful.
To prevent minimum wage and earned sick time initiatives from going to voters last month, GOP lawmakers approved them in September so they could be more easily altered after the election with simple majority votes rather than the three-fourths support that would have been needed if voters had passed the proposals.
===================================
No wonder I don't like Republicans. They're bad for your health.
Well these laws are an immoral usurpation of business property rights and bad for the health of the economy, it was good that they got axed

How dare those uppity workers think they deserve rights.
Don't really hear people referring to workers as "property" quite so openly.
Refreshing if a bit sad

The workers are not property, the businesses money used to pay them is property. To an extend so is the value produced by the workers the business’s property
What's objectionable is the GOP couldn't make that case with the voters, so tricked them, lied to them, and apparently in GOP land in the age of Trump politicians lying to voters and betraying their trust is what the GOP is all about.
It's reason #879 why I'm so glad I don't have to try to defend GOP crap any longer. Seriously, they passed some laws before the election, told voters, "See, we support these goals!! Promise!!" then as soon as the election was over, said to voters, "Sorry. **** you! We lied!"

No, they're neither, nor can you demonstrate that they are.

Well in a society that allows a lot of unintelligent greedy selfish people to vote that may be what you need to do.
The voters vote on emotion, and they assume there’s huge pots of money the government and businesses own that will just magically pay for all their desires without costing anything.

They had a right to refuse the job if the pay and benefits were not to their liking. The bigger problem is people feel entitled to make what they do not deserve because they don’t have the skills to earn pay and benefits and have an inflated view of their own worth.

Your posts sound like this:
Never have figured out how they got everybody to accept being commodities to be used and discarded at will by the donor class.
Who the hey votes for these clowns, and why? What's in it for them?
