I like having a job

Having a job makes it possible for me to retain a home, pay taxes, and contribute to society.  If you institute a policy that makes it more difficult for small- to medium-sized businesses in Austin to exist here by mandating paid-time off policies, you will drive those businesses (and all their jobs) out of Austin.  If that is what you want, great, but if you don't want to kill businesses, don't implement anything like this.  Please stick to keeping the streets safe and clean and stay the hell out of peoples' business where you don't belong.
