Yeah, it does discriminate against one type of retailer over the others.
It discriminates against ones like Wal-Mart/Target and the other MEGA
box stores who increase the burden on the rest of the tax payers due to
the store paying wages so low the employees often need government
assistance even though they have a full 28 hour a week job (so no
benefits or a living wage has to be paid).
It has no effect on the Super Mega Stores, that pay living wages as the
employees do not need public assistance and local business are not
decimated by this kind of business.
Besides the Super stores that give living wages, also pay taxes unlike
Wal Mart and target that pay little to no taxes, while getting
government assistance to bring and keep their stores in areas they
destroy the lively hood of the residents, off shore stashing of their
cash, and not spending every dollar possible that was brought into that
store, in the local community (see, stashing their cash in off shore
accounts, which also helps them not pay taxes on that income).
Vote with your dollars. If you love the economy as it is now, please
shop at Wal Mart and target, Home Depot and OSH and their ilk. Of course
if you like the economy the way it is, only your staff are shopping at
those places, you wouldn't be caught dead seen in a place like that.
