So republicans believe that supporting big buisiness, such as oil co, for e.g;?

Question

is going to help the US economy because the money will eventually trickle down to the poor. Explain this to me again? How many big companys do you know that pay their employees any more than minmum wage? How exactly does this money trickle from big buisinesses? If you ask me all it does is put an even bigger division between the rich and the poor in America. I'm voting for Marshal Mathers for president next election.

Answer 1

The gap between CEO and bottom worker has been increasing since 1973.

Answer 2

So what do you do for a living? Nothing, I bet. Probably never left home. Your mother still cooks and cleans for you. Functionally illiterate. Meanwhile Mexicans are pouring over the border in waves and working at all those jobs that the youth of America are too good to do and they're buying houses and getting married and driving around in brand new BMWs. Mexicans work their butts off while you're whining about big oil or some such nonsense. In twenty years you'll be pushing a shopping cart down the street collecting aluminum cans. I'll honk and wave from my Mercedes I bought from my "minimum wage" job.

Answer 3

Very few big businesses pay anyone, not even the janitors, minimum wage. Even McDonalds' starting salary is $6 according to the sign on the door. And as for how it trickles down, General Motors pays billions of dollars in wages and benefits directly to its employees, pays other companys billions of dollars for material, and probably several million to have their vehicles transported from factory to dealerships. The GM employees and employees of these other companies spend their paychecks on food, clothing, houses, cars, daycare, plumbers, painters, etc., creating jobs for millions of other people providing these items.
People and companies with money are the ones that create jobs.

Answer 4

just one example:

"New venture capital team to focus exclusively on inner city

What's old is new again. Areas once cast aside as economically depressed are now perceived as potential gold mines. As a result, big business is returning to inner-city neighborhoods in a big way. Over the next 10 years, in fact, some financial experts project that real estate in these once all but abandoned communities could be a $100 billion market."

"UrbanAmerica L.P., a commercial real estate investment company created last year, plans to be a major player in the burgeoning transformation of the nation's inner cities by acquiring and developing commercial properties. While company officials say they believe their venture will help revitalize some neighborhoods, as well as create employment opportunities, more than anything else their commitment is simply good business."

Answer 5

I know that in my hometown, Wal Mart paid my mother in law 2 bucks more an hour than the small business that she was working for. It is called compitition. Businesses have to pay more to attract the employees. If you pay to low, people would rather just sit at home and draw social security.

Answer 6

What they don't want is anyone to get a piece of the action unless they contribute to keep them in control. It's not just the republicans, it's government. Gasoline today is about $2.45 per gal in Chicago. It's about $1.80 in Atlanta. If we had free enterprise it would be about $1.80 all over the USA but government rewards those chosen few by it's control.

Answer 7

Oil companies don't pay their employees minimum wage. People generally get paid what their worth. There is no other way except tyranny

Answer 8

That a farce...it doesn't trickle down
