Sometimes I think - hell, MOST always I think Liberals will not be happy until everyone in the country gets $50,000/year free 'salary' as a 'right to an income'. The folks in Seattle have mandated every business within the city offer paid sick leave to its employees. Seems Seattleites won't be happy, won't stop f'ing with the lives of its citizens until every business leaves the city. Couple crap like this with Seattle's war on cars, and you have a recipe for disaster. The problem is, the largest part of the population is foolish, as folks who propose and pass these types of laws keep re-electing them.

The Seattle City Council Monday passed an ordinance that will require all businesses in the city to give their workers paid days off.

The ordinance, which will go into effect one year after Mayor Mike McGinn signs it into law, will mandate companies with at least five workers provide five paid sick days a year to employees. The largest companies would have to offer up to nine days. Victims of domestic violence would also be entitled to sick days.
This ordinance is yet another step towards providing every person a life-boat for every possible life situation. This legislation removes the meaning of the word 'benefits' from an employer's lexicon. Nothing above 'pay' is a benefit - hell, ask most union thugs and even PAY should be a 'right' - regardless of amount of work done.
