Who is Subsidizing Who - In Support of Fast Food Workers Union Organizing

5. yes! That is what is happening, wake-up America

We, the taxpayer are subsidizing Walmart, McDonald's and all the cheap pay corporations because the pay is so low that the employees qualify for food stamps, rental assistance, medical care etc. Think about that the next time you get a 99 cent meal, it is costing you a hell of lot more that what you are paying at the window. And - the owners of these large corporations are pocketing the profits that could be used to pay their employees a decent wage.

Just adjusting the minimum wage for inflation, would make the minimum hourly rate over $10.50 an hour.

I know I am becoming a stuck record on this subject, but it is so outrageous and I don't think enough people understand all the underlying things that go on to allow the corporations to sell things so cheap.
