You are aware most small businesses aren’t billion or even million dollar companies don’t you? My dad owned a mechanic shop and in the 90s his business brought in around 400k, he cleared around 80k. Do you understand how this kind of stuff works?

we weren't talking about small businesses but this is a good point. Because I have no problem paying more for services at a small business in order to compensate for payment for their employees.

The issue here is the mantra that the giant corporations can't afford this and have to pass on costs to us. Sorry I call bullshite on that. Is there a middle ground? absolutely. Maybe base it on the size of the business or number of employees. I don't know the answer to be fair but letting huge companies screw over employees in the name of share holders isn't one.

And to also be fair creating a non competitive space where small business can't survive isn't one either.
