The employees of the richest man in the world need food stamps. Pitiful, just pitiful.

[dave p]

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?

The 'rules' about which you rale have been put out there by bi-partisan congresses for 80 years. They were the same rules under Roosevelt, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. They've been upheld by liberal and conservative courts.

Besos gets held to a different standard because HE himself holds himself to a different standard. He claims to be a bulwark of liberal values (whatever they might be).

We don't pillory the man in the street if he gets caught with a hooker ... but we do crucify the man of god when he gets caught.

Bill Clinton got a bj and he was crucified.

Trump has unproted sex with porn stars and Bunny hookers and he is held up as a role model for the children of right wingers.

He wasn’t crucified for the blow job you moron. The investigation and issue at hand was whether he tried to exert power and influence to keep here quiet, and lying under oath. But I wouldn’t expect a mental pigmy like you to understand.

 

[dave p]

Bill Clinton got a bj and he was crucified.

And lied about it under oath.

He never should have been asked the question. The investigation was called Whitewater. Not BJ.

Completely different investigation. Please keep it up. Watching you say stupid things is quite entertaining.

A Staggering Number of Amazon's Employees Still Need Food Stamps

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, with a net worth of $127 billion. Meanwhile, a staggering number of Amazon’s warehouse employees depend on food stamps to stay alive.

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?

Taxpayers subsidize corporations by supporting their employees for them. Don’t worry about that $8 an hour we pay, fill out these forms and the taxpayer will support you

Corporations do not own the people who work for them.

You party of slavery supporters cannot seem to comprehend a society that outlaws slavery. Democrats are scumbags.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is about the richest man in the world getting tax cuts FROM REPUBLICANS that not a single Democrat voted for. And the people who work for him need food stamps to make it. They have no union and they make only minimum wage.

Do you dum dum's think that's the ONLY company like that?

And the people who work for him need food stamps to make it.

Don't you just hate greedy liberal Dems who don't pay their workers enough?
Bastard!!

 

[Crepitus]

• They mean he could afford to pay them more.

  
  No one is stopping him...…..

  Not my point.

It's the end of the thread.

Why should he pay them more when the government picks up the slack for him?

A rich liberal Dem won't pay his employees enough.

OP "Damn Republicans!"

Why should he pay them more when the government picks up the slack for him?

If you want to argue for reducing or eliminating welfare and/or food stamps…….be my guest.

Living wage = little to no welfare.

There's a difference between needing foodstamps, and qualifying for them.

Just sayin. Carry on with your marxist patter.

Uh, nope.
I know you have no real data to back that up. It is just not true. A "Living Wage" is one of those code phrases...a complete fantasy, like "free healthcare" and "global warming".

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

republicans might "fuk" the country over....but democrats like you have fucked this country over...there is a difference....

The publisher of the Washing Post is a Republican?????????????????????????

Friends don't let friends Rdean and post

Who said the publisher of the Washington Post is a Republican?????????????

Friends don't let Republicans lie and get away with it.

Bezos is a typical Liberal democrat leader Socialist leader: he makes billions, his people get the shaft

he "fuks" his people over....

Oh Gawd you're stupid.

He could lead by example instead of waiting for the government to tell him what to do.

Seeing he is on the left and does this tell me the left refuse to lead by example and only think about themselves only...

Oh, so that's how it works. Republicans fuk over the entire country but Democrats should "lead by example".
Got it!

Republicans? Really? Where was Barney, Pelosi and others? Your selective outrage is silly.

Bush was president. Republicans controlled the Senate, the House for nearly 6 of Bush's 8 years and yet, somehow, it's the Democrat's fault?
FO

Wow, you must live in another alternate reality and believe Trump became President after Bush and forgot Pelosi held the House for Bush last two years and Obama first two years.

You blame Republicans for everything while ignoring your own political party failure or that Democrats themselves abuse systems to make themselves richer while pretending they care about the poor and middle class...

No one said it was but what I am asking is why do Democrats need big brother to tell them what to do when you know what should be done?

Why do you blame Republicans for your greed and hate for your fellow man?

 

[rightwinger]

The employees of the richest man in the world need food stamps. Pitiful, just pitiful.

Just pitiful.

Odd how with unemployment and taxes so low, that wages would not rise

Why are bad decisions, made by employees the responsibility of the business?

The average salary at Amazon.com is $100,000. Say the minimum is $50,000 can a person no longer live on $50,000 a year?

The last 18 months saw fewer jobs created than the previous 18 months.

Your desperation is duly noted! AGAIN!

Once you reach full employment, doesn't it make sense that it becomes more and more difficult to create NEW jobs?

Oh, right, I'm discussing this with a Progressive.

 

[Markle]

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.

What is the average income of a household where one worker is earning minimum wage?

How many households are there where the sole income is one person earning minimum wage?

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.

Why should he pay more? Does he not have enough employees?
