SUBSISTENCE POVERTY IS BAKED INTO THE SYSTEM

Vote with YOUR dollars by patronizing companies that pay a living wage.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

CLASS WARS

“There’s class warfare, all right. But it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war …and we’re winning.” – Warren Buffett, 2011 (Net worth: $85.6 billion USD)

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME
VS.
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH MISSIONARY EVANGELICAL MESSAGING FROM THE BEGINNING OF AMERICA

A Golden Calf at CPAC? Seriously, these are the holier than thou dicks who claim to have God on their side and then spit on said God to worship an asshole named Dummy who wouldn’t get into heaven even if he was the last person on Earth. Religion has become a joke for these fools. @sloyoroll01973

@MoonMaestroUSA
Believing in TRUMP
As their Chosen One
Following him into the sewer
Will skewer
The Evangelicals
They were warned about
A False Prophecy
An Anti-Christ

Yet, they chose
To not use their own
Eyes, ears, and minds
And swallow Trumpism
Like it’s their Baptism

WHITE POWER

• Generational Wealth

• Separate but equal
• Jim Crow
• KKK hate groups
• White Supremacists
• White Power
• K12 Literacy Pipeline to Prison Program for Privateers

When @BernieSanders says it (over & over, for tears & years) people call him names.

*since Tricky Dick Nixon, in 1972 not only prolonged the Conflict in Viet Nam based on a fake “Secret Plan”, but also TaxPayer-subsidized Corn, dropping price of feedlot beef… & by 1980s leading us to High Fructose Corn Syrup

$15.00 and hour is still Subsidized Slavery

It’s 1970 and the average rent is $108 a month including utilities! The minimum wage is $1.60, meaning you need to work 68 hours to pay rent, not the lowest rent, the average rent!

It’s 2021, average rent is now $1463 and it now takes 202 hours to pay the rent.

How much tax evasion goes on that steals the People’s money that could be used to pay for a $20 minimum wage, universal healthcare, etc. The welfare is going to the super rich and corporations who can afford to take care of themselves. Stop Reganomics, it has ruined our country for 40 years and has only made the rich richer.

McDonald’s paid its CEO almost 2,000 times as much as the average worker in 2019

Maybe McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski could lead the way – possibly reduce his $18 million a year salary.

How about paying Mcdonalds CEO and executives less to accommodate the difference? Pay people and subsidies should diminish. Plus, economy does better when people have money to spend. it’s a good thing for our economy. Let’s get that message out there!

Rutger Bregman is right: enforcing taxation is key.

Half of employees who make under $15 an hour get food stamps, Medicaid and welfare. This costs taxpayers $107 billion a year. So instead of paying a few cents more for a hamburger, you’re paying billions more to subsidize corporations paying literal poverty wages. source

The rights objection to minimum wage has nothing to do with economic science, it is pure ideology. The economic studies all show a reasonable min wage helps the economy significantly.

This shows the cruelty of the White Power Racist #GQP.
They don’t want to mandate a living wage and at the same time they constantly attack programs meant to fill in the gaps for the working poor.

Min wage
Costco: $16
Walmart: $11

Average pay
Costco: $24
Walmart: $15

Employees on food stamps (subsidized by you)
Costco: Virtually none
Walmart: More than any other company

Founder net worth
Costco: not a billionaire
Walmart: over $220 billion; up $30 billion in pandemic

CORPORATE SOCIALISM

Walmart is subsidized by taxpayer dollars and the three Waltons are among the top wealthy Americans. If the government subsidized my business, I could be a billionaire too. Especially if I could put my competitors out of business.  Walmart can’t afford to pay a living wage, but can afford to pay dividends. If a business does not generate enough for a living wage, then it’s non viable and shouldn’t be in business.

Taxpayers subsidize corporations’ payroll, while corporations pay as little tax as possible, often 0 dollars. That’s socialism. When help is for corporations, it’s “incentives,” when it’s for the little guy, the average person, it’s “socialism.” We’re paying for our own poverty.

CORPORATE SOCIAL WELFARE MODEL
Walmart employees collected food stamps & (naturally) used them @ Walmart, who received $15B annually from taxpayers for them. They think that’s a win-win.

Taxpayers are forced to Subsidize Slavery. If a business can’t afford to pay living wages to people, it’s a failed business!

#GQP GREED for their Mega Donors with tax breaks.
