No particular pimp preference...

From the NYT article below, I tracked down the National Restaurant Association (the other NRA!). This is essentially a small business lobbyist group as I pondered. And, indeed, they are against min-wage increases. Here's their statement:

Their talking points seem pretty good, actually. I feel kind of sorry for them. They are up against strong forces.

Also, I see what you mean about them going after tax breaks (e.g. "restaurant depreciation relief"). Ugh, more complicated tax code!
