Sanders rolls out 'Bezos Act' that would tax companies for welfare their employees receive

43. Sounds good to me

There was a time when a kid could pay for college with a summer grocery job. It was once the norm to give health care to full time employees.

What's weird is families where both parents need to work just to survive, and one's income is almost completely eaten up by childcare.

What's changed is the wealthy have siphoned off more and more of the income generated by labor, leaving the rest of us poorer and poorer and more and more desperate year after year.

And unfortunately, we're all too paralyzed by whataboutism to take the first step to right the wrongs id the past forty plus years. Sure, Amazon might do something even more wrong if they have to pay a living wage. So maybe we'll just need to keep watching them.

I'm so tired of this defeatist attitude, especially on what I'd hope could be a progressive site.
