Another CEO gets wealthy off of tax payer welfare.
Quote:
Walker's WEDC -- the purpose of which is to create jobs in the state -- is giving a Wisconsin company a 6 million dollar tax credit to build headquarters in the state -- with the okay to lay off 1,900 employees (half its workforce), and with no new job creation requirements.
Walker's WEDC votes for Ashley furniture $6 mil tax credit, owners then donate $20 K

Forbes Welcome

Ron recently founded Third Lake Capital, an investment vehicle for his family's wealth; in July 2015 it bought WingHouse, a restaurant chain in Florida, for an undisclosed amount.

California jobs outsourced to other states, because of so many regulations and double labor cost....

Sound Familiar, to what has happened to the nation as a whole?
Just think if California could tariff all imports into the state from other states to make up the difference.

I didn't give up. I just see no point in wasting my time arguing with idiots.

That store is owed by crooks and charlatans anyway. I wouldn't buy a folding chair from them.

That's where you're wrong. No one making minimum wage should have bought a house (let alone have been given the loan). You're car payment is not your employer's responsibility either. And you should be living in housing that you can afford on your pay (if you only make minimum, that isn't your employers problem).

What makes you think employers are "greedy?" Because they don't pay YOU what YOU want, does not make them greedy.

You really are clueless. How old are you?

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong. You need to get an education.

Sure sure....I need an education yet you can't defeat my argument because its correct. The company is leaving Cali because NOW they will have to pay a livable wage to its workers and that's just WRONG! Only the CEO is allowed to get disgustingly rich!

Wow! Your post demonstrates just how far America has gone downhill! You actually believe that someone who works an honest job full time, should not receive a wage enough to live on.
