Look, this obsession with small business has driven policy so far off course. We all like the idea of mom and pop shops, but that doesn't mean we should give them carte blanche to treat their employees in a substandard way.
There are plenty of benefits we can implement that scale with size and scope to make small and medium business more competitive with the big players. Allowing them to pay poverty wages is not one of them.
