Ok, lets start out, I am 19, I was unemployed, until this past May, (I was 18 then), I finally found a job, I now make minimum wage, 7.25$ an hour, after almost 6 months I have worked my way up, and now get around 30+ hours a week, when I first started, I was getting 14-20 hours a week.
I live in Utah, I am a good worker, help my employer, and I am a good citizen, I am Eagle Scout...... And I am paying the Government, to pay companies to hire people, and pay them more then I make ? does anyone else think this is wrong ? every person I have talked to about this, it has pissed off, they think it is wrong also.
What am I talking about you may ask ? it is the new DWS (Department of workforce Service) Program "Utah Back to Work"
https://jobs.utah.gov/btw/jsclaimant.html
Utah's Department of workforce Services has announced, that Utah Companies need to hire more unemployed Youth, age 18-24, and to give them an incentive they are offering 2,000$ to employers who hire these unemployed Youth, only if they give them 9.00$ an hour, and 35 hours a week, and keep them at least 3 months, after that, no strings.
(Fun fact if they get 9.00 an hour, and they work 35 hours a week, for 12 weeks, they will make 3,780$, in the almost 6 months I have been working, I have made 3,580$ about 200$ less then what those people will make in 3 months, I have also had the government take over 500$ from my pay checks, which is almost 15% of my money, 5% more then the 10% I pay in tithing, and I still get to pay 5+% sales tax, anyone think a 17% flat tax is bad now ? rant over)
SO the Government is now taxing ME, to pay companies to hire OTHER PEOPLE, and pay them MORE THEN I MAKE ?????? how is does anyone think this is right ? when is it right to tax someone, to then pay someone else, to hire and pay someone more then the first person ?
Things like this are killing America, how about they just lower taxes on companies, to stimulate new growth, instead of taxing us, to put someone else back to work, are these Private sector, temp jobs, subsidized by the government any better then Public sector, (AKA Government) jobs ?
