No they're not----Americans need to just get out there and spend spend spend.
And here's the way...
-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.
-Eliminate all business subsidies (deductions/write-off’s/write-downs) except for employee expenses which are deducted dollar-for-dollar on all city, state, and Federal taxes and fees with the Feds refunding city, State, and fees.
-Companies with 300 employees or less, employee expenses above the deduction are subsidized at 100% with funds usually give back to the States.
-Adjust Social Security and private/public retirement and pension payments using 1970-2013 price structure. Remove the FICA limit.
-Back down ALL costs, prices, fees, to January 1, 2009 levels and hold them for 10 years which will eliminate inflation.
-Recall ALL off-shore investments tax free, and disallow any further off-shore investments.
-Make inversion illegal.
Hi 1%
1. If you believe in paying 23.50 per hour, why not set an example and pay this yourself to the workers of your company who
built it for you? Go back amd calculate paying them 23.50 an hour and see if you would still make tens of millions selling your
Company.
2. When the Greens help cmunities issues local currency, they set up the rates themselves. They dont wait for govt or fed. So they practice what they preach, dont preach to others what to practice.
Its all by free market choice!
3. Thanks for answering honestly that you did NOT treat the employees as equal owners and builders of your company. You can always go back and pay them equal shares if you REALLY believed and valued them equally.
So you agree that you should have
More say as the owner.
Wouldnt it be exploitation not to pay them equally if you really believe your employees built your company and did all the work for you?
So now I will change the Bullring challenge to either pay your workers backpay at 23.50 per hour ie the difference you owe them
Or split the sales value with them
Or admit you either DONT believe the workers really did all that work for you but you created and provided equal services to them in jobs and what you paid per hour already, which is the point about businesses providing stable work for ppl,
Or admit you are a hypocrite for saying one thing but not doing it
With your company when you did
Exactly what the people are saying-that the owners like you
Provide a higher level of mgmt than the workers in building and making the busness work.
I challenge you to pay back 5 million to your workers or else
Raise 5 million in capital to create campus that teaches workers to build their own businesses like you did.
so you will NOT be a hypocrite but you will practice the points you preach. Let's build a campus to train ppl, i'm with you on this as a fellow Democrat, Green supporter of sustainable fair trade, and of the
Occupy volunteers that liked the plan to set up historic houses for Vets in a campus setting with work and educational internships and services on site. Thanks! I hope you accept the Bullring challemge
To prove you really believe in
Practicing your own principles....
