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

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?

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.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Didn't Seattle just surrender to Amazon?

Amazon, like Apple, were examples. The real question is why do Republicans think it's fine and dandy to subsize big companies but not the employees.

Do you have to explain even the most simple things to Republicans. Isn't there anything they could understand?

But it's libs subsidizing them.....plus don't they have to collect sales tax now.....who did that.......

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

Since Jeff is the CEO, he can give them pay raises. He has decided what to pay his employees, not the Republicans. Since he is a very vocal Democrat it seems he should step up and do the right thing.

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?

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.

This is why it's a terrible mistake to let Republicans run the economy.,

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?

What rules might those be?

The rules that allow him to pay so little to his employees they need food stamps to survive. Duh!

The rules that allow him to pay so little to his employees

Those rules don't limit what he can pay.
Why are liberal Dems so greedy? Durr.
