Don't look now, killthecat, but your anti-American, anti-Capitalist Marxism is showing, lil' guy.
Small businesses are not treating their employees like human turds and you know it. They are providing them with gainful employment, and more often than not, they are providing them with benefits, as well. Problem is, you leftists want to be tyrannical assholes and make every business conform to your one-size-fits-all notion of what everyone should earn, in spite of the fact that don't know shit from shinola about any of these businesses you choose to dump on. You don't give a damn about the damage your supposed "good intentions" might do to the small businesses you're imposing on ... 'cuz it's all about trying to build up your political power base, anyway. Well guess what, dumbass ... in many, many cases you will be hurting small business employees ... 'cuz when the small business closes because its margins have been squeezed too thin and administrative costs have skyrocketed because of your overbearing regulations, not only will the employees not have employer-provided health insurance, but they won't have wages, either! Yeah, there's the "win" you were looking for! 
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
