Because "their means" results in them living in poverty So we subsidize the $hit wages they are paid with SNAP, medicaid, EITC, subsidized housing and it will never end because those corporations will make sure that they never have to pay an actual living wage, it's much more lucrative for them to shift the burden to taxpayers.
Some really don't seem to make the connection here that you have so succinctly laid out for them.
Who is deciding what their skills are worth? Think about it...in much of rural America Walmart is the only retailer of any size, they have no competition, they can pay whatever they want and people have no choice but to accept it. The only time a firm offers higher wages is if they need to in order to attract workers.
Fast food joints collude with each other to keep wages low, they use non compete agreements which keep their employees from being able to look for a better paying job in that industry.
Who? How about the consumers, the so called workers themselves? No corporation can set the price if the consumers won’t buy their products!
That you ask this question shows precisely you have no clue about economics.
Please explain to me how the price of goods is determined before you post more nonsense like this.
Who, then, will run the check out counters at Wal Mart when you wish to shop? Who will work at the fulfillment centers of Amazon? I stand by my statement. It's utterly ridiculous that the middle class american taxpayer subsidize Wal Mart and Amazon by paying for food stamps for their employees.
Wouldn’t the evil corporations have to raise the wage to fill those roles?

Of course we should all be concerned where all the wealth in a country is concentrated in the hands of only the very wealthy who ALSO buy politicians to create the rules that further benefit them.
Here’s a thought. How about stop voting for the Democrats who are perpetuating this problem?
Stop the government from regulating businesses and no businessmen would have any incentive to bribe politicians!
Why would a crappy CEO get hired as another highly paid executive again unless the business owners are utterly stupid?
So you're saying that no CEOs have been bad at one company and hired by another company afterwards as an executive?
I stated an empirical fact. You took it to mean they were stupid and I must be calling other business owners stupid to hire them afterwards.
So for you to be right, there would need to be zero examples of CEOs crapping the bed and getting hired later bc that's your definition of stupid.... And that has never happened... Right?

You have no substance to your argument if when pushed on it you try to completely start over with a new one like abandoning a pair of underwear after a bad experience at a Mexican restaurant.
Oh...bc you were wrong about what my point was, I must have switched my argument...lol...��
If you need to back pedal, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you from being wrong a different way.

“I drove my previous company to the ground” shines on any CEO’s resume, and the business owners are rushing to hire him!
The first question to ask when hiring a CEO is “What was your achievement in your previous company?”
Your answer is “I drove it to the ground. Proudly!” You think you would be hired?
Here’s a thought: you are the problem corruption and cronyism exist! Stop voting for the democrats.
Here's a though: YOU are the problem corruption and cronyism exist! Stop voting for Republicans like Scott Pruitt and the biggest corruptor of all - DJT.
