You wanted an example of how corporations get people to vote for Republicans, which is voting against their own interests? “The Anti-Sick Pay and Anti-Living Wage bill, sponsored by House Majority Leader Steve Precourt, R-Orlando, passed in the Florida House. “The GOP-led Florida House of Representatives passed a bill last night that would prohibit local governments in the state from implementing laws that extend paid sick leave benefits to workers. The bill is similar to others backed by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. “ALEC and Florida’s anti-sick leave bill have a considerable amount of corporate support.” “Republicans in the House voted in favor of the bill because they said they were protecting Florida businesses, the Orlando Sentinel reports: “House Majority Leader Steve Precourt, an Orlando Republican carrying the House bill, has argued businesses needed “certainty” as more local governments considered their own wage and sick-leave policies. Florida decided in 2003 to “preempt” local governments on minimum-wage laws, and this is an extenson of that policy.” Florida House Passes ALEC-Linked Anti-Sick Leave, Anti-Living Wage Bill Published on April 5, 2013.
