Since taxpayers are subsidizing employees at Walmart, McDonalds and other minimum wage paying businesses, why should the American taxpayer be putting money in the Waltons and their ilk's pockets? They have been skimming off of us for way too long and they are mega rich because of it.
Personally, I think there should be a 90% tax on all earnings over $2 million/yr. It's the only way to return us to a fair taxation system and restore equality. It would give them an incentive to share the wealth with their employees and create much better paying jobs.
