So we are subsidizing their profit margins while the gov is giving them more tax breaks 🤔

Walmart employees are the largest beneficiaries of SNAP. Walmart is also the retailer where most SNAP dollars are spent. Weird right

It’s not about raising wages. It’s about regulating the percentage pay caps for upper management and CEOs in comparison to workers.

This also doesn’t account for all of the employees that are only allowed to work 29-30 hours so the company can avoid giving them benefits.

“Private companies pay so little that their employees are on food-stamps, which is paid for by taxpayers.” Changed my brain chemistry

So they are both having record profits bc they are paying such low amount of taxes AND we the taxpayers are essentially subsidizing their business. Truly robbing us both ways

Policy is written by individuals that are bought and paid for by the corporations they are going to write policy against. Our government needs an overhaul

This country has convinced people that it is those employees’ fault that they are in that position and not the greedy companies refusing to pay them living wages. Minimum wage laws here are such a joke.

If you are a company that employs full time workers that qualify for public assistance, there should be sanctions. Your stock shouldn’t be allowed to trade and C-suite pay should be capped.

Basically subsidizing large corporations to pay crap wages so they don’t have to offer quality healthcare. But it’s Obama(care) fault. Seriously, the problem is corporate America!

They cry about welfare moms, but in truth it’s welfare corporations that break the societal bonds.

Walmart had it in their business plan to pay their workers low wages so they qualify for food stamps and then spend their food stamps at Walmart. It was intentional.

That’s not even counting the wages from the incarcerated that some of those companies are benefiting from.

If you can’t run a company with real wages, then you can’t run a company. And I’m ok with that.

I’m don’t get why republican voters don’t care about their taxes subsidizing corporations and billionaires.

If we had a 90% Greed Tax on all assets and income over $500K, we would protect ourselves from sociopaths, and it would incentivize paying for labor!

People want to complain about Medicaid fraud and then cover their ears when they hear about workers from these companies on Medicaid!
