Medicaid is far better than private insurance with high deductibles. Take Medicaid.

If a corporation has workers that qualify for public assistance then the corporations should be charged a back tax to the federal/state government to cover the cost.

Exactly!! Make corporations responsible for their workers. Such a scam that corp profits are what they are but their employees are on Medicaid and we’re paying for that.

A generation fought for labor rights, a generation benefited from those rights, now a generation takes them for granted, and the next generation will have to fight again

And now grocers reportedly want a bailout. Why? Because so many people have lost SNAP food benefits that the sales, and profits, of grocery chains around the country are suffering. A bailout of the corporate grocers would just be a benefit transfer from individuals to corporations.

But we also have date from 1940’s-70’s that show us when we tax corporations appropriately that it doesn’t spell economic ruin like we have been made to believe.

Corporate liability/responsibility never should our healthcare been tied to our employment. All corporations see is an expense eating away at profits!

The GOP parades around about capitalism but we’ve seen at every turn they will offload things like healthcare & retirement to their employees and the government responsibility

The **corporate marginal tax rate in 1959 was 52%**. This rate applied to the highest levels of corporate income during that time.

could I make a suggestion for a series, I was going through your series list and was curious about how people on disability try to navigate other channels of income. like the cap of having $2k in their bank account, is there any suggestions in financial institutions or seasonal credits recommendations?

Not only are the full time employees receiving subsidies, but they end up paying a lot of those subsidies back to the very companies that are paying them a less than livable wage by buying groceries from Walmart or getting their medicines from Amazon.

manwhale 🐋 :
why shouldn’t the minimum wage pay more than the qualification level for government assistance? i thought assistance programs are supposed to be insurance against poverty? the way you described it means that it’s an indirect corporate subsidy?

“Higher mandatory compensation has consequences.” This is probably their strongest economic argument. If government forces labor costs substantially higher, businesses can respond with higher prices, fewer workers, reduced hours, automation or reduced investment. CBO does indeed find that sufficiently large minimum-wage increases involve a tradeoff: higher earnings for many low-wage workers but potential employment losses for others."
