    Trickle Down doesn't work.
    Actually a full time worker at Walmart makes enough money to keep a family of 3 above the federal poverty level, possibly 4 when you factor in child tax credits.

      Yet, people are getting more raises, jobs are opening up, bonuses...

      Yet half the country makes 30k or less a year.

        To eliminate monopoly & oligarchs, shrink the size of government.

          Does Walmart have more part time workers or full time workers?

            No the rich shrink their companies, lay off employees, and if squeezed to hard they move their businesses and money to other countries that exploit cheap labor.. Robin hood is a fairy tail and that stealing from the rich to give to poor doesn't work..

            The poor and struggling need jobs Knickers and they don't need their jobs leaving the Country.. Gotta take care of the wealthy and not run them out...

                Then pay them enough to stay off food stamps. Why are you defending people that are stealing your tax dollars?

                      I'm defending the middle working class and the poor hard working folks that want to get or keep their current jobs.. Nothing more..

                      I can care less for the rich and big business owners getting richer as long as they can stay in America and create more jobs..

                      Rich and greedy when they get more money will want to expand and grow and make even more money.. That creates more jobs and more big business.. That's keeping it real...

                                  That's what you need to know.

                                    Pinch the rich too hard with taxation and regulations and they will shrink or shut down big business and or just keep and hold their money... Hard working are then out of work and many suffer..

                                    Who cares about the few rich business owners getting richer?.. Maybe they will get a spiritual awakening later in life and end up giving all their wealth away to charity like Warren Buffet did.

                                        You know what happens when millions of people are poor & all the money is in the hands of the few.

                                        The millions eventually just come & take your money. Its happened many times in history.

                                        So they better do something before it gets ugly.

                                            Well do you know what happens when all the rich are gone and there are no more jobs coming available.. Crime, drugs and poverty is what you get coming into your neighborhood...

                                            Knickers you're a smart lad reason this out logically...

                                              I went and looked at Walmart's new $11 an hour minimum with the new GOP tax plan. If the child credit is refundable, meaning you get 2k per child, one full time Walmart employee making $11 an hour can support a family of 7. They'll be under the poverty level by $100 a year, between 7 people. Imagine that, one worker supporting 7 people while working at Walmart.

If the child credit is refundable, meaning you get 2k per child, one full time Walmart employee making $11 an hour can support a family of 7. They'll be under the poverty level by $100 a year, between 7 people. Imagine that, one worker supporting 7 people while working at Walmart.
                                                    Yeah you should try it for a year to test it out. Please report back.

                                                            Reread what I said. If the child tax credit is refundable, meaning you get 2k a child, you will be above the poverty level if you work 40 hours and 10 minutes a week. 40.17x52x11x10000 is almost 33k a year, which is above the federal poverty level for a family of 7.

                                                            Feudalism is where someone was granted land from the king and the peasants would work the land. It was all based on grants from the government, which is what you want.

                                                              Tell you what Josh, when the revolution comes, & you need protection for your ass. How much do you think that is going to cost you?
