Republican SNAP Proposals Could Take Food Away From Millions of Low-Income Individuals and Families

[TruthNotBS]

They'd give $8 billion to the workers, what would they save?

Here’s the thing: as a non-profit co-op, Walmart wouldn’t exist just to pile up profits or dole out dividends. It would be restructured so that any leftover revenue, what they’d currently funnel to corporate taxes and shareholder payouts, would get automatically reinvested into the business and community. There would be better wages, healthcare coverage (the government could provide Medicare for all, eliminating the private healthcare insurance rackets), high-quality training programs, affordable housing, and free child daycare for co-op members, all funded by the billions that were previously shaved off for corporate taxes and private gain. That kind of setup turns what’s now essentially a profit-extracting machine into a genuine non-profit, community resource, with worker-owners having a say in how the surplus is used in the company (it's all re-invested into the company).

THE PURPOSE OF WALMART IS TO CREATE GOOD-PAYING JOBS AND STRENGTHEN AND ENRICH COMMUNITIES.

Walmart, Instead of draining money out of every town it sets up in, becomes a catalyst for local prosperity, operating more like a public utility that just happens to sell consumer goods. Every dollar reinvested goes back into wages, store improvements, and community projects (affordable housing, education..etc). That’s nothing like the current model, where billions get siphoned off to enrich a handful of shareholders, leaving employees scraping by on government subsidies and local, small, mom-and-pop businesses being eaten alive by Walmart. In short, transforming Walmart into a non-profit co-op could reshape it from a profit-driven giant into a sustainable, service-oriented powerhouse, anchored firmly in the well-being of its workers and the communities they serve. That's the point, Todd.

Alot of nothing. The only good way would be to deny Walmart a labor force. Imagine the good that would happen if nobody applied to work there. Won't happen but it would be a huge boon.

Absolutely!
An extra $4K per employee.
Wow!

Every dollar reinvested goes back into wages, store improvements, and community projects (affordable housing, education..etc).

Wait, less than $4K extra income for the employees? Shameful!
$8 billion less in dividends isn't going to buy much affordable housing.

That's the point, Todd.

Indeed, bad commie math is always the point.

Walmart as a co-op would have a workforce that collectively owns the company, earns more money, and reinvests more into its development and that of the community where it conducts its business.

You're going to get a rude awakening when this idiot you elected destroys our country with his "All-Star" team of clowns. He's going to destroy all of us, while he and his wealthy cronies are safe in their well-stocked, luxurious bunkers, you and I are going to be reduced to glowing dust blowing in the wind.

So far, the Trump admin is doing great.

You continue to ignore the fact that there would be more money, due to the reasons you're conveniently, if not flippantly ignoring. More money and reinvestment, which generates even more money. etc.

Yes, I refuse to believe your bad math.

 

[TruthNotBS]

Yes, I refuse to believe your bad math.

You're unwilling to recognize the facts, that I clearly and patiently spelled out for you. Walmart as a worker-owned, non-profit co-op vs Walmart as a more privately owned, for-profit-driven business, has different expenses and responsibilities. You conveniently ignore that. Your math is irrelevant and hence wrong.

The math is the math.

You whine about $8 billion in annual dividends and pretend a co-op would
have hundreds of billions to spread around the community.

Your math is inapplicable, and out of context, for the reasons I already explained. Walmart, if in the hands of workers today would save billions in taxes and would generate more wealth, by reinvesting it into its workforce, as I explained earlier. All of this translates into more money in the community.

You're right about one thing; your silly ideas would reduce profit and therefore taxes.
Less profit, less wealth.

Walmart, as I already admitted several posts earlier, has improved its wages significantly in the last ten years. On average a worker earns about $17 hourly. If Walmart were a worker-owned co-op, workers would have more resources available to them, and of course, more job security and power.

$19 hourly is much better.

$19 per hour is a slap in the face. It's like not getting paid.

Don't forget that rent and housing prices will fall.

You could use some of that up in Canada, eh?

How in the world do you think that rent or housing prices are going to fall if we’re taken over? You have a housing crisis and rampant homelessness in the United States? How are you going to fix our housing problems when you can fix your own?

Given that our minimum wage would go from $17 an hour to $7.50 dollars an hour, and our health insurance premiums would go from $0 to $12,000 per person, How do you think that Canadians are going to end up better off?

Canadian seniors have a guaranteed annual income of $20,000 a year, tax free, with no healthcare insurance premiums or copays. Trump is just overturning the $2000 cap on Senior’s drug expenses.

Rent and housing prices are not going to fall until there is no longer a shortage of housing in Canada.

There is no way on gods green earth that any first world working person is better off living in the United States than in the country where they currently reside.

You are the shit hole country of the first world. That’s why white people aren’t immigrating.

Being taken over by illegal aliens? Justin really did you dirty, didn't he?

How are you going to fix our housing problems when you can fix your own?

No, idiot, you have to fix your own like we're fixing our own.
Don't import millions while making home building more difficult.
Cut the home building red tape, stop wasting time, energy and money on green nonsense.
Stop importing criminal aliens. Deport the ones you have.

Rent and housing prices are not going to fall until there is no longer a shortage of housing in Canada.

I know, Justin made things so much worse for you.
