little2add Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I.E.: Walmart receives an estimated $6.2 billion annually in mostly federal taxpayer subsidies. The reason: Walmart pays its employees so little that many of them rely on food stamps, health care and other taxpayer-funded programs. Walmart avoids an estimated $1 billion in federal taxes each year. The reason: Walmart uses tax breaks and loopholes, including a strategy known as accelerated depreciation that allows it to write off capital investments considerably faster than the assets actually wear out.

Winchester Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well shucks and darn. The military would have had a billion more dollars' worth of bombs to blow up foreigners with.

So are you wanting to fuel the bureaucracy, or just send that one dollar along? If Wal-Mart increases wages, then there will be an attendant increase in payroll taxes. I think you should look into the tax system. Maybe learn basic economics. Than form an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 My wife runs a tutoring company. It has very low overhead because the company operates at the houses of tutors or students. She pays her tutors roughly 4 times the going rate, reduces rates for people in need, and often provides free help. It's essentially a co-op amongst the workers. I fully support it. Of course, she has to spend a lot of money to be sure she doesn't run afoul of the IRS. You know, because they're the source of social justice, and will social justice her butt right into a cell if they feel an error warrants it.

Anastasia13 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I come from a place where an associates degree and a couple years of experience pays $11-$12:50 an hour. If many administrative and bookkeeping/accounting jobs where I am from were ok with less, why is it so important to raise the pay of fast food to $3/$4 more than that instead of focusing on how to help people stuck in fast food jobs get out of those jobs into something better?

Sounds like a good idea. What do you propose to help people stuck in those types of jobs to get into something better? I would think that a higher wage might better enable some of them to save money for things like education, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, I think the BS in Nutrition I knew finally got something better than her 9 or 9.50 an hour kitchen job. Her degree didn't help her make more money than a fast food worker for a few years here. Why would a fast food employee save money for education to not make more money?

Make those institutions that give them baby sitters who ask very little learning, limited thinking, and preferably good standardized testing for a peice of paper when you put in your due years? Or do you mean available through taxes to those with the fortitude, intellect, and lack abnormal, severe obstacles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
