Your point might be logical if it were the RICH Dems calling for more taxes... but politicians aside, I really don't think that's the case. And if it matters any, I'm neither a Democrat nor do I support tax raises for the wealthy.
Of course there are other companies like walmart, but that person was implying that Walmart employees loved it there and I said that they are not neccesarily happy
If we raised tarrifs on foreign made junk so that we could buy American, a company like walmart would cease to exist.
Wal Mart would still be here.. They buy in quantity thus getting large discounts. Their prices would go up to offset the increased cost, but so would their competitions prices....Wal Mart would still be here, but I agree we need to add tarriffs to imports
The "sweatshop" assertion has no basis in reality in most cases. People who manufacture products in China and other countries for Walmart and the like are making far better money than they could if those jobs were not in those countries.
As far as "immoral business practices," what exactly do you mean? Morals are subjective. If someone is engaging in illegal business practices, they should be prosecuted. If you have a big enough problem with a legal business practice, try to get it made illegal.
As far as inheritances, should they not be allowed?
The sweatshop thing was proven in Nikes case.
Inheritance is cool, but those who did inherit are being shown by the right as being "self made people". What if every person in America inherited a multi million $ company?
If a company has enough money it can buy "not guilty"
Immoral business practices including what I said earlier plus, gender discrimination... I wonder how much they paid the system off
Seriously. Why do you have such a deep hatred for those who make good money in the United States?
Simple question. Don't deny it. Answer it.
The better question is, why do they hate rich people but worship them? Celebrity culture is almost synonymous with liberals. They are the ones buying their products, purchasing their music, and tuning in to their tv shows and movies, thus making them richer. Then they have the audacity to complain about the %1. Yeah the %1 you worship and made richer. Morons I tell you.
Good suggestion. Why can't they voluntarily follow your advice?
Oh, you mean like Warren Buffett who owes the government a small fortune? Or how about Michael Moore to name a couple... Hypocrits at their liberal finest

Do you have any proof that it's "mostly liberals" who worship celebs, or are you just talking out of your butt? I don't know the answer to that question, but it seems celebrity worship is an American thing - not just a liberal thing, especially considering the reality shows (like that awful Kardashian one & Jersey Shore) are just as popular in red states.
Castigating rich people for "not paying their fair share" isn't hating them.
If you went to a store and you asked the clerk how much some product costs would you expect the clerk to ask back "Well, how much do you have?" So why is it OK for the government to do this?
