Amazon Gets Tax Breaks While Its Employees Rely on Food Stamps, New Data Shows

The American people are financing Amazon’s pursuit of an e-commerce monopoly every step of the way: first, with tax breaks, subsidies, and infrastructure improvements meant to lure fulfillment centers into town, and later with federal transfers to pay for warehouse workers’ food. And soon, when the company begins accepting SNAP dollars to purchase its goods, a third transfer of public wealth to private hands will become a part of the company’s business model.

This is why it's a terrible mistake to let Republicans run the economy.,

They cry about food stamps.

When they think shovel ready, they mean shovel money to billionaires who we already subsidize, by, get this, giving their employees food stamps.

These people getting food stamps will lose their healthcare at the end of the year.

This is what happens without unions. Republicans hate unions. They want to be poor, to be despised for using food stamps, to have no healthcare and they think college is bad for America. And the people at Amazon who get big salaries? They all have college degrees. Something is wrong with Republicans.

Another example is the ridiculous deal in Wisconsin by the Republican governor for iphones. They just brought 350 billion dollars back from overseas, but they need Wisconsin to spend 3.5 billion to subsidize the plant and they won't even break even until 2040. Who calls this good business?

And you can bet, the employees without college degrees will need food stamps just like the employees at Amazon.

Should we be subsidizing companies who make billions?

What did Obama do about this while he was President with a Vetoproof majority? He lowered the threshold to qualify for food stamps! Obama created the problem

Who is responsible for $1,000,000,000,000 in student loan debt? Obama, history's greatest predatory lender! Making debt slaves of a generation

How much could Obama do with a few months of a veto proof majority? Once Kennedy died and Brown took his seat it was all over.

Republicans would fuk the country over than help Obama.

How do we know? THEY TOLD US!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much could Obama do with a few months of a veto proof majority?

Obama was going to veto Dem legislation? DERP!

Once Kennedy died and Brown took his seat it was all over.​

Poor, weak Obama. Couldn't do anything with 59 Senate seats. Waah.

He runs the company.
He can at any time raise their pay.

He's just playing by the rules Republicans put out there.
You want him to play nice but not Republican CEO's? Double standard much?

What rules might those be?

The rules that allow him to pay so little to his employees they need food stamps to survive. Duh!

He can pay above the minimum. Many companies do. He is the one deciding what the pay scale is within his company.

Uh hello, knock knock. He is paying the minimum. That's the problem. Double duh!

Let me type slowly for you since you have zero comprehension skills. H e C a n P a y T h e m M o r e it is his decision not to. So you can take your double duh and shove it.

He can pay his employees whatever he wants.

OK, there you go. So we should be subsidizing big companies.

Why is it OK to subsidize them but not the workers?

He's the one screwing over HIS employees so if they're on food stamps thats on HIM and no one else.

Perhaps they cannot live within their means like many people can't. That does not make it the employers fault. Why do libs always want to shift blame?

If you didn't need to eat, it would be really easy to "live within your means". Till you needed healthcare. Then? Not so much.

That makes no sense at all.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Didn't Seattle just surrender to Amazon?

Amazon, like Apple, were examples. The real question is why do Republicans think it's fine and dandy to subsize big companies but not the employees.

Do you have to explain even the most simple things to Republicans. Isn't there anything they could understand?

But it's libs subsidizing them.....plus don't they have to collect sales tax now.....who did that.......

I don't know.

But I do know Republicans just gave trillions in tax cuts to billionaires and corporations like Amazon and Apple.

And b!tch every single day about people getting food stamps.

How do you explain that???????????????????????????????????

So, you're blaming republicans for a multi-billionaire not paying his employees well?

Since Jeff is the CEO, he can give them pay raises. He has decided what to pay his employees, not the Republicans. Since he is a very vocal Democrat it seems he should step up and do the right thing.

So why should he have to do what no Republican CEO has to? No problem with the double standard I see.

Who said no Republican CEO should not pay their employees above minimum wage?

I don't know? Who said that? It wasn't me. Do you hear voices?

You just said it. Seriously, are you on medication?

Jeez! How did Trump pass tax cuts? How did Reagan? Wow! Obama can only get things passed when he has 67 votes. Not for reaching across the aisle is he?

Thankfully, we listened when he told us to "go out there and win some elections"

Tax cuts for billionaires who don't need it.
Great job. And for the people who actually need help? Fuk'em, right? Isn't that what you're saying?

No, Deany. Obama tried to run the economy of food stamps and unemployment, that didn't work at all. Left to Hillary and Obama, we'd be the next Venezuela. Are you still pointing to Venezuela as the future and what we should emulate?

Amazon is the perfect mirror of a Socialist economy. Bezos addicts tens of thousands of workers to low wage jobs with the promise they will one day own the company, all the while reaping the rewards of their hard labor to maintain his seat on the Amazon Party throne of dictator of their world. The supposed charity of his offered entry level positions is no different than equivalent socialist programs to provide basic incomes and universal healthcare--all as dictated by the corporate "State".

Real American men and women do whatever it takes to provide for themselves and their families. If that means working three jobs while doing night school to take a Juris Doctor while tutoring polynomial challenged eighth graders on the side, then that is doing what you must to get by and forge a better life. America has always honored the spirit of personal responsibility and ingenuity.

Tell me, señor socialist, who is the more deserving of their status in life? The chemical engineer who worked two jobs on top of G.I. Bill money for six years to earn his degree and who just paid off a $600,000 home or the lifelong convenience store clerk who makes $9/hour, lives out of a rented room above his parents' garage and who constantly complains about his unjust station in life?

Making it financially in America is all about choice and personal responsibility. Even the single mother of three abandoned by the father of her children can choose to better herself through a myriad of paths out from under the chains of welfare and into just about any professional station you can name.

That is the beauty, the strength and the true symbol of American freedom. We Americans can be anything we put our minds to being. The price of entry? Effort. Endless, tireless effort and initiative and foresight. There's just no excuse for reliance on a colossal Nanny State to put bread on your table or a diploma in your hand. You've got to do it for yourself.

Lower the welfare level then company's would be forced to raise wages or lose employees.

Simple.


When you enable bussisman / company they will take advantage of every rule and laws on the books

BTW don't buy cheap crap from Amazon because you are also exploiting his workers and tax payers.

[depotoo]

Does it look as if these USMB Republicans are saying we should be subsidizing these companies? Cuz that's how it looks to me.

No company is subsidized by food stamps. A company subsidizes the economy. Without their dollars, these employees would be collecting more in govt benefits.

We have to protect the billions of corporate CEOs

Keep wages and taxes low so they can pocket more profit

Absolutely not. The latest "tax deform" bill passed mainly by republicans was a boondoogle in corporate welfare. That should have been a real opportunity for tax reform to right a lot of inequities in the tax code, including entitlement reform. [/URL]
