Stop Walmart Act

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is the thanks that Walmart gets for supporting Oboingo in raising the minimum wage.

More proof that no mater what you give the moonbats, it will never ever be enough.

It because the Walmart seven don't think that $180 billion is enough. They think they should spend more and more net profit to increase their worth rather than paying their employees enough to stay off of the taxpayer subsidies.

They think they should spend more and more net profit to increase their worth

Wah, they're keeping their own money, no fair!!

rather than paying their employees enough to stay off of the taxpayer subsidies.

That's easy enough, stop paying subsidies to low skilled workers, eh?

Equivalent to a Walmart tariff that consumers will ultimately pay. You know, those middle class and poor customers?

Make an argument that Walmart can't afford to raise pay and buy-back stock while never touching their prices.

Bernie loves the loss of jobs that always happen with 15.00 per hr.

Bullshit. Amazon just raised their minimum to $15.00. Chick-fil-A is paying a minimum of $17.00. My companies pay a minimum of $23.50. All three are doing very well.

You really need to back-off the Putin concept of companies can't afford to pay their employees a living wage.

New peer-reviewed research from University of California at San Diego economist Jeffrey Clemens and my AEI colleague Michael Strain looks at what happened to employment in states that raised their minimum wages between January 2013 and January 2015. Now, these increases were nothing like what the Fight for 15 folks have in mind. The average boost was less than a dollar. Yet Clemens and Strain found larger increases, those exceeding $1, “resulted in employment declines of just over one percentage point among teenagers, among individuals ages 16 to 21, and among individuals ages 16 to 25 with less than a completed high school education.”

Perhaps longer-run results would be different. But these and other similar findings signal that caution is warranted. One can find plenty of economists on the left and right who think that while $15 an hour may make sense for some companies, a one-size-fits-all approach for businesses big and small around the country is a “risk not worth taking,” as former Obama White House economist Alan Krueger has put it.

Create your own WalMart, pay as much as you'd like.
Let me know when your IPO is ready.

Thanks for proving my statement correct, Corky.

What is it you 'do' Oddone?

let's just say we allow our corporate masters to put a price on it, then keep hammering you DOWN until your worthless, at their gain

Follow so far?

That would be your job, good luck.

That legislation would be unconstitutional on its face.

Make your point.

He did. Perhaps you should educate yourself on why.

How is this unconstitutional?

 

[OnePercenter]

Easy one, some believe subjugation a constitutional right

How is limiting stock buy-back subjugation?

I expect my debate opponents to come here with a working knowledge of the topic. Educate yourself.

Next Bernie will enter a bill to forgive student loan debts for those making less than a million a year.

Student loan debt is a $1.5 Trillion dollar detriment to the US economy.

You plan on hitting every hook we put in the water today?

The problem with student loan debt is colleges have priced themselves too high. A cost that did not exceed 10% of a person's starting salary would result in debt repayments and a financially sound employee/graduate.

The answer is: Profit based schools have been at the forefront of rising tuition.

Who is running the student loan racket, comrade?

Who?

By proxy 1%er

Buy backs allow for the increase of profit ,via the subjugation of labor

but......you knew that....

Better to address the REAL issue>>>>

Which most Congressional members are profiting from

But hey, we're all about f*king the kids , IF there's a $$ in it, right?

go ahead, look it up......

~S~

If by congressional members you mean Republicans.

 

[sparky]

Let's see you can make the connection.......

 

[OnePercenter]

Next pitch.

Then Bernie will enter a bill to give everyone an iphone with free internet access.

All companies associated with these industries will be exempt from the Walmart Act.

Ronald Reagan already did that.

Net profit is theirs to do as they please. Walmart jobs for the most part are entry level jobs. I guess they could go to college and be teachers. Of course they would still have a fair number on subsidies.

In your opinion it's OK for a companies employees to be a tax burden as long as the company enjoys their net profit?

 

[OnePercenter]

FANTASTIC!

Bernie Sanders targets Walmart: Bill would block stock buybacks unless workers get $15 minimum wage

So I finnaly guess what company you own, where you pay your burger flippers 500 million dollars an hour .

Bullshit. All corporate stock buybacks were illegal before 1982. It is nothing more than artificial manipulation of the market.
