Wal-Mart Cuts Some Workers’ Hours After Pay Raise Boosts Costs

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

So you are saying they would make no money without government social safety nets? And would not exist?

How are government subsidies to individuals a profit for WalMart?

Without those subisidies they would be a lot less profitable. It's not unreasonable to draw from that that they would be less attractive to investors and have a harder time staying in business.

Those subsidies are essentially a pass through from the govt through poor people towards Walmart's revenue. I can't say how much lower that revenue would be without these programs- how much less would America spend without welfare?- but as is it's clearly a huge impact to its profitability, as evidenced by its continual lobbying for it.

Oh I get it you're saying poor people spend their food stamps at WalMart. I misunderstood what you were saying.

im no communist but something is wrong here

this company shouldnt get one cent of tax breaks or incentives. im tired of reading about how these workers resort to welfare, OUR money

i dont know what the solution is. some french revolution, guillotine shyt would be

they didnt do anything 'wrong', but they arent doing anything socially responsible

Elites know all the loopholes in the tax game... which is why they usually pay close to zero while suckas like me paying close to a quarter

Leave wages stagnant = prices rise, employee hours cut/laid off.
Increase wages = prices rise, employee hours cut/laid off.
Decrease wages = prices rise, employee hours cut/laid off.

Just can't win.

whats a win?

Solutions though?

how do you get the workers more of that money?

You legally mandate it through policy, and then you enforce that policy. Simple.

Corporations are going to do what they do, which is get to the money. It's up to the government to keep corporations in line.

I'm pro business, no reason minimum wage can't be $10/hr.

Still we'll be back in the same spot in the future regardless where you set it...someone will always say "minimum wage doesn't provide a living wage"

You're just totally discounting things like inflation and a ton of external factors.

You seem to feel more strongly about this issue than I do. Plus I've seen Venezuela.

I think you can get on your own soap box instead of asking me to leave mine. The two are not mutually exclusive

I know....you never debate issues. You just post passive aggressive bullshyt and smilies.... It's up to you, like I said I don't care strongly enough to make a thread. Just say you hate rich people, we'd cut most of the bullshyt out.


Edit: And YOU QUOTED ME when my post had nothing to do with you and this thread wasn't started by you. What are you talking about? .
