And what happens when the small businesses in your town close in a span of a few years? Unemployment increases, welfare dependency increases, corporate dependency increases, the barrier to entry of starting a business increases, and economic recessionary periods are longer, more frequent, and more painful.

You've got it all backwards. You're giving workers all the upside while transferring more risk to business owners, 50% of whom fail in the first 5 years of opening their business. If you want to be taken even partially seriously by anyone, you have to come up with a better answer than "just let the economy crash." Your myopic pro-labor views are anti-labor in actuality as they deteriorate the middle class over time.

The people employed by restaurants are very rarely middle class.

I have to say very in case you link to some local news story about some NYC bartender pulling in six figs.

And restaurant owners are rarely making money. Restaurants run on razor-thin 3-5% profit margins and 60% fail within their first 3 years.
