Bernie Sanders introduces 'Stop BEZOS' bill

[Brain357]

This is a fascinating idea. Our biggest economic problem is stagnant wages. Could this be an answer?

Update: September 6, 2018: U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday introduced a bill that would tax corporations with more than 500 employees for the full amount employees receive in government assistance. The bill's title, "Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies Act," or "Stop BEZOS," is an open jab at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Sanders had previously criticized Amazon after a study found that some fulfillment center employees relied on a federal food assistance program. Sanders' criticism drew a heated response from Amazon, which prompted another detailed critique from Sanders' office, one that included testimonials from Amazon employeesabout working conditions.

Considering federal aid and fed govt regulation of some businesses is unconstitutional, it sure doesnt seem like this bill is, does it?

OMG lol

Go read the Constitution and get back with me. Maybe then you will understand it.

I didn’t say any of that. Just asking you for specifics. You brought up the constitution. What part of the constitution?

I do not like it. The Sanders idea renders large corporations some kind of PATERNALISTIC
ORGANIZATION. It actually confers POWERS
on persons who control large businesses over the
personal lives of the members of the FAMILIES
of their employees. To me it is a weird kind of legal
enslavement------something like SERFDOM

I know you didnt say that. I was trying to elaborate on why your statement was silly.
The part that doesnt exist that gives the fed gov the right to do those things

How does it do that? It sounds like a tax on corporations who pay so little that employees collect welfare.

there are all KINDS of benefits for many many different reasons. How would they determine who is or is not eligible for some "SPECIAL" benefit which falls under the "welfare" umbrella?----would it be
by INDIVIDUAL or by FAMILY or by HOUSEHOLD?
If a veteran receives a 10% disability benefit------would DA COMPANY have to pay it?

Now this is something I can get behind. 100%. The government shouldn't be forced to help YOUR employees because your uber rich ass wants to play cheap and not pay them well enough.
