Businesses should take leadership

To the editor:
Several things. This may not be the best time to write about employment with many out of work. I do have some ideas.
First stop voting for these anti-capitalist, anti-business politicians. There is nothing wrong with making money. Nothing wrong with making a profit. Also I do feel that the minimum wage laws discourage businesses from having internships, apprenticeships. What right does the government have to tell businesses how much they must pay their employees? Minimum wage is nice if you have a job but I feel it also keeps many people including the handicapped from getting on the ladder so to speak.
I have mixed feelings about labor unions. On the one hand they protect your job but I do know of situations like Hostess where jobs were lost. Also union dues should be kept in the union and not given to politicians. Also we need to repeal Obamacare. Also why is it necessary for employers to be in the insurance business anyway?
Employers should train their own workers instead of having the schools and others train them.
I am a human being not a human resource.
I attended two meetings with handicapped people last summer at both meetings they took surveys to see what the handicapped were concerned about. Their one concern was having a job.
This is not a call for more government programs. It is instead a call for businesses and employers to get off your duffs, take a different attitude and hire the handicapped.
