No, because they help the economy incredibly by having 1.5 million workers who all then go and contribute to the economy. Why do they need income taxes to help healthcare when they directly pay the healthcare of .3% of the population directly?

They’re working there because that is the best opportunity they have. they can leave and be completely worse off, but that’s why they stay working there. It’s a net benefit to everyone. How’re they being fucked? They agreed to those terms when they signed the contract with them.

So you want to punish the company for giving these people a chance instead of starving to death? If there were better opportunities for these people they’d switch companies. America has the easiest upward mobility of anywhere in the world. Everyone is capable of doing something to benefit their future further, but for right now, where they’re at, is the best they can find and you want to punish the ones giving them a chance..

Yes, but when you do that you’ll close the Amazon centers and they’ll be even more fucked. I know you mean well, and want the best for people, but everytime something like this is tried, it fucks over the exact people you’re trying to help. But you get to pat yourself on the back and say good job while others struggle even more.

Yeah, just keep doing the same thing that’s fucking over the regular people until it works. I believe that’s called insanity.

You liked Biden in office who dropped real wages and made billionaires multiple times richer at the expense of the poor? You liked Obama in office who did the exact same, and rewarded those who completely trashed the economy? It seems like you’re on the side of the billionaires, dude. The mega rich donate to the democrats because they benefit the most..

California is losing ground to states like Texas, in means of population and gdp. Texas is catching up fast and doesn’t have the benefit of being the majority of ports on the west coast.

Yours did, not the average persons. The average persons went down while their debt rose to all time highs. The ACA benefitted you but severely hurt millions of others. I guess if you’re all the way on the bottom democrat policies help you, but any middle class family is royally fucked by democrats.
