America's sweat shops are just air conditioned and nicer [View all]
The true thievery in this country is not people taking extra weeks of unemployment when they could have worked harder to get a job, (that might not be there....let's face it), or not working when they actually could be working, which I'm sure happens ) The true thievery is the theft of 99+cents of every dollar by the top 1% of the country.
Find that hard to believe? The CEO of Walmart makes 35 million/year while their average worker makes $8.75/hour or $13,650/year. That means that in one hour the CEO makes what it takes an average employee a year to make. Your taxes pay their food stamps and medicaid. Still want to blame the Democrats?
The CEO'S salary is 1560 X's that of the work's. The only reason Walmart is not a sweat shop is America is too rich to have sweat shops and thank God people have fought to get rid of sweat shops in this country. But this is our American sweat shop. Welcome home.
