Seems one would have to be crazy to run a business in a liberal city .
Many cities in America are welcoming to businesses unlike cities like NYC , San Francisco , L.A etc with these crazy minimum wage laws .
NYC restaurants are not happy with the big minimum wage hike government has forced on them .
Now they are begging to be allowed to add a surcharge of 5 % to each bill .
They make a good point about these politicians that have never run a business .

New York City restaurants are proposing a surcharge for all diners to cover the rising cost of wages.
A group of more than 100 owners are pushing for lawmakers to let them add an extra 5% to weather next year’s hike in the minimum wage to $15 as well as the rising cost of food and rent.
“We’re seeing restaurants go out of business,” Apple-Metro CEO Zane Tankel said Tuesday during an interview on FOX Business’ “Evening Edit.”
Tankel argues that the minimum-wage hike will destroy jobs and force restaurants to raise menu prices.
“Our mayor has never run a business in his life,” he said. “Our governor has never run a business in his life,” he added, referring to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

A good article written by an NYC business owner . He breaks it down in the articles why the hikes are so bad.

Minimum wage kills. Not actual people, but it kills jobs. I own Lagmitz Paper & Plastic Co., LLC, a business I started out of my parents' basement in Brooklyn over 37 years ago. Every year, running the business becomes more difficult, and something needs to give.
New business regulations keep getting piled on us by Mayor de Blasio and the City Council. Payroll taxes increase. And, most punishing of all for our bottom line, the minimum wage keeps going up, thanks mostly to Gov. Cuomo.
It's far better on the economy for the government to hike welfare benefits and give more food stamps for people making under $15 an hour in New York and other high cost of living places?

Minimum wage is going up everywhere in the USA not just New York -- and in many places that can't charge New York City prices for stuff.
When Trump gave the corporations the tax cut, some of the corporations cited the extra cash could bump up the minimum wage......Could it be that's what is happening in NYC-- not liberal policies but all that extra cash from tax cuts?
I’m not a huge fan of Apple Bees either but of course some people like it . I wouldn’t want to see their employees lose their job .
It mentioned the Applesbees owner but there are 100 restaurants petitioning the city to add this surcharge on the bill .
I suspect they are all Applebee style restaurants that are struggling to keep their customer base. (Applebees across the country are struggling to stay afloat).
The people in those restaurants live and work in the greater NYC area -- how can they afford to live in the area on less than 15 an hour.

You're WRONG. It's certainly not so in Oklahoma. There, it's against state law for a city or county to raise the minimum wage, which is $7.25 an hour.
