> Because taxpayers are subsidizing Walmart's business
We can assume then that taxpayers are subsidizing all businesses with employees making under $11 and hour, so why isn't the government changing minimum wage laws from $7.25/hr and $2.35/hr
- Chaebixi 9y agoThere's something especially slimy about the #1 company in the Fortune 500 consciously doing it. And by it, I mean pay its employees so little they need to go on welfare, and then directing them to the welfare office. > so why isn't the government changing minimum wage laws from $7.25/hr and $2.35/hr Because it's been captured by people who like to pay their employees as little as possible.
- smileysteve 9y agoSlimy about consciously, doing what? Paying a minimum of 122% of what they are legally required to? Paying an average of 191% of what they're legally required to? [If nearly doubling "expectations" is slimy, what does it take to exceed expectations]
- Chaebixi 9y agoYou're confusing legality with ethics and morality. You can behave can quite unethically and immorally while still meeting or exceeding legal requirements.
