This fucking asshole Jeff Bezos would rather have you subsidize food stamps for his workers than pay them a living wage. There is no reason why he can't pay them a decent living wage, he is just a fucking weasel who does not give a shit about anyone other than himself. Your taxes . . . . [businessinsider.com]
If I had my way, no individual would be able to accumulate more than 500 million dollars in private wealth. Effectively I would prohibit being a billionaire. Wealth and social justice tax would return all surplus wealth to the economy and the general good. Clever dick lawyers and accountants barred from clever schemes. If any person cannot live on 500 million, then that's their problem. Should this de-incentive-ize them, they are welcome to lie on the beach on their half billion bucks.
This is true as long as it is not you the billionaire. Do you think that rich people just watch their money?
Billionaires do not bother me. The cockroach group bothers me (politician(99% a roach), clergy, banker and the roach). Look at the phone book how many pages are listing food stores or automobile stotes and how many list roaches. 1 and a half million roaches in North America are our leaches. They are the reason why everything costs so much. Even if you manufacture sewing needles you need a herd of roaches to protect you from other roaches. The system stinks.
@69ArizonaJerry so your ire is directed at politicians, all of whom you castigate questionably, and not at wealth and privilege that controls the structures that control you. Strange. I think Karl Marx called that false consciousness - a lack of understanding of class and power.
