Winchester Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 big corporations, like wallyworld should be charged (in full) for the public assistance given to their low waged employees that's all don't know fursure but pretty sure it is at the top of the list It takes five dollars of taxes to get one dollar of "aid". 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.

Winchester Posted October 17, 2015 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 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.

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?

Winchester Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Let's do for college degrees what we've done for high school diplomas.

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?

Supply and demand, what, what.

It's too late for that. Once God was pushed out of American society, morals went down drastically. Starting wage jobs that were supposed to be for teens until they got a good manufacturing job, were replaced by a welfare state. People want to end abortion. They had one chance to do that in 1973 before it got started. Having a march in DC and then taking a break for lunch and commiseration isn't going to do it. That said, I salute those good and wonderful people for trying.

little2add Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Our low income buys a hundred times more food and clothing than most destitute immigrants and refugees can afford in there host country isn't it ironic that the reason so meny people want to immigrate is to be lifted out of poverty and the reason most givin for abortions in this country is low income you could say one mans ceiling a is another mans floor, or something to that effect

But then you need a law that states that all hourly workers get a minimum work week of at least 30 hours unless they ask for less, because then management can simply schedule said employee for less hours and the employee still comes out making the same amount of money they were before and simply ends up doing the same thing before which is working two jobs or more just to get by. An then one need some kind of right to work law on top of that, and then demand that employers give reasons why they are terminating an employee and give that employee at least a months notice so they are not left out in the wind looking for work. Other than that the world just needs to stop China from their slave labor practices and stop importing and exporting just about everything from them. But then Walmart would be outa business , and then what would the world look like.
