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

Where are the Unions when ya need em?

This is where conservatives tell us we don’t need no unions

So do the workers!

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?

Corporate welfare. The government pays your employees so you don't have to!

Yay for corporate tax cuts!

That was the entire point but Republicans refuse to see it.

Tax cuts have nothing to do with what Jeff pays his employees.

They mean he could afford to pay them more.

Why? Is he not able to hire enough employees?

Amazon is a great great company making Americans rich with low prices, huge selection,and huge convenience. They get some support and some regulation from govt but this is trivial compared to how Amazon is transforming the world and making us all rich!

He can pay his employees whatever he wants.

More importantly, thanks to Republican capitalism he has to pay them more than anyone else will; if he doesn't they won't work for him!!

Mmmmm...no.

Do you not understand demand and how it effects the job market?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Do you not understand demand and how it effects the job market?

demand for food clothing shelter etc etc is natural and has been constant forever so not a significant variable. Human progress began and continues as Republicans invent or suppy goods and services to meet the demand. Accordingly, economic policy must be directed toward Republican inventors if we want more of the huge economic progress that got us from Stone Age to here. Do you understand?. 1+1=2

we really just need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, unemployment compensation for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States, and Industrial Automation to help with social costs.

Bezos is a liberal Democrat.

He runs the economy?

Oh Gawd you're stupid.

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?

God you’re stupid. These aren’t republican rules you idiot. Private companies can pay above minimum wage. You fucking retard.

If you cant grasp that more workers drive down wages you're a complete dolt.

of course when supply goes up prices go down. This is called law of supply and demand in Econ 101. Do you understand?
