Bernie Sanders introduces "Stop BEZOS Act"

[Tommy Tainant]

I disagree. Government subsidies allow these huge corporations to under cut smaller businesses. Its a race to the bottom funded by the tax payer.

Government subsidies to WHOM? Are you suggesting that AMAZON functions on
government subsidies? Are you suggesting that a kid that decides to start
having kids at age 16 and ten of them by age 30 has a SPECIAL right to a
middle class life style as an unskilled Amazon clerk? I have a sense that Amazon
has LOTS OF completely unskilled-----kinda crème puff jobs that just do not
reach the level of a house in the 'burbs, a car and ten kids. INSISTING that
doing a job that a 14 year old could do should support all that is going to HELP
the world. Seems to me that it would keep lots of people and lots of small
businesses down. Soda jerk too? What happened to the concept of those
START UP jobs?

If the state didnt give out all these benefits people couldnt afford to take Bazos crumbs and he would be forced to pay a decent wage. He is leeching off the tax payer. Bernies solution seems very straightforward and a great step forward.

Excellent point!
I agree, we need to cut out all those benefits.

No, we need to increase the minimum wage you cretin.

Who the **** is "we" you pretend foreigner?

Decent people. Not you mate.

Nah, eliminate the minimum wage.

This is what happens when our government becomes owned by special interests. Rather than undo all the legislative advantages given to the special interests, the revolution comes in the form of higher taxes on the rich, or bills like this one.

Since 1978, and adjusted for inflation, American workers have seen an 11.2 percent increase in compensation. During that same period, CEO's have seen a 937 percent increase in earnings.

CEOs make $15.6 million on average—here’s how much their pay has increased compared to yours

Bullshit.

Double bullshit.

Read the report in that link, dipshit. They back up what they are saying, whereas you...have nothing.

Here's the report: https://www.epi.org/files/pdf/130354.pdf

I must warn you. It is longer than a tweet.

Indeed, and why should my tax money subsidize their payroll?

You right wingers want to reduce welfare. So here it is.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

When you corrupt the capitalist system, as our special interests most definitely have, you open the door wide for the socialists and commies.

Incredibly self-defeating in the long run.

Why are these right wing drones so keen to subsidise billionaires ?

They compared the earnings of CEOs at the 350 largest corporations by sales to that of their workers.

Amazon was probably one of them.

I happen to be a conservative.

I am very keen to return to a fair and honest system of capitalism, not this thoroughly corrupt system we have now.

Do you know what a CEO does?

Do they do more than they did in the 60s when they were making a couple hundred Gs a year?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

No, we need to increase the minimum wage you cretin.

To WHAT you ignorant fucktard.
Once you raise the minimum wage, the consumer price index will start to rise as companies shift to keep their profits where they are.

Why stop at a living wage if it's that easy? Why not $250/hr? Wouldn't that level the playing field even more? Why do you want to condemn people to JUST a "living wage" when CEO's are living the life of Kings?

Why do so many people have shit for brains?

A great deal of the explosion in CEO pay has to do with the fact that a great many companies have gone public.

That's also a key factor in why our banking system keeps getting into trouble.

People dont work to starve. Either the company paays enough or the state makes up the balance. Why do you want the tsate to subsidise these hugely profitable corporations ? Are you a commie ?
