Do you know what is happening with corporations in America who don't pay a living wage to their employees?
The reap the benefits of CORPORATE WELFARE.
You and me, the taxpayer, (assuming you pay taxes) underwrite employees in this country so they can afford food and a roof over their head while they work for corporations making record profits and not sharing those profits with their employees.
Get a clue about WHERE corporate profits go...
Tens of millions (or more) American workers and retirees have a total of $27 Trillion invested in corporate stocks and other equities in their pension and retirement accounts. Eliminate corporate profits, and guess what happens to those millions of Americans' pension and retirement accounts...
Yes they do. Want Evidence, look at California, America's future always happens there first.
You are welcome to live there so long as you are on welfare. In fact the rich there have decided to appease the middle and poor since they can't offer opportunities for the middle and poor.
This isn't Brazil I'm speaking about, it's the USA. And it will be coming to your state no matter who is elected.
Need health insurance? The state giveth, so long as your income is low. Need food, the state giveth, so long as your income is low. Need education, the state giveth so long as your income is low. Have high income? The state taketh until you become in the low bucket.
This is the future of the country, and no, it won't survive it as a united fifty states. Some will break off, probably the welfare states first (not the "red" states).
Most of those Corporate profits are concentrate and not dispersed to the pension funds.
If you want even lower paying jobs vote for The Donald. He has already said US wages are too HIGH! Just look at how he has stiffed the small, and not so small contractors that worked on his buildings. Then look at the banks and investors he has cheated through bankruptcy.
Would YOU want to work for the Donald? I certainly would not.
If 50% of Americans are on some form of welfare,
and don't pay income tax... guess how many DEMOCRAT VOTERS are on some form of welfare ?
75%+ jobs are for "other people"...
this was fact checked previously and it's not correct.

Jeffrey said that in 2013, there were 109,631,000 Americans "on welfare," outnumbering the "105,862,000 full-time year-round workers in the United States." While the claim is based on real numbers, it’s a fundamentally flawed, apples-and-oranges comparison. The number of "welfare" recipients -- unlike the number of workers -- is enlarged by the inclusion of children and senior citizens. The comparison also ignores that many "welfare" recipients actually work, so trying to separate the two categories creates a false dichotomy. We rate the claim False.

"In fiscal year 2009, during the depths of the recession, about 2 million families received welfare benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. In these families, 85% of adult recipients were single parents; the rest were married. I did the math, and I found out that the total number of adults in these families had to be less than 2.2 million. In other words, a maximum of about 3 percent of Barack Obama’s 69.5 million votes in 2008 came from people on welfare — and that’s assuming every single adult on welfare voted, and they all voted for Obama."
How does a President make that happen, the legislature is the body that creates and enacts laws that impact economic matters.
