There's no reason why large companies versus small companies should matter. If you don't like employment getting subsidized, great -- take away employees' welfare when they get a job. But don't treat Amazon or Walmart differently from smaller businesses.

Why not? The scale matters. A small company may struggle, but still meet the legal minimum. It may be good for both the workers and the local community to help it grow. On the other hand Amazon has lots of money available that they could move into wages.

This bill aims to have an impact on companies that choose not to pay wages rather than those that can't.

Are you saying large companies have the same power as small companies when it comes to matters such as legal,lobbying etc..
