"“trickle-down” economics — a concept pushed by Republican to justify slashing taxes on the wealthy — have only benefited the rich and worsened economic inequality while failing to decrease unemployment or grow the economy."
"A paper from the London School of Economics and Kings College’s London, looked at the effect of 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy in 18 developed countries: the concept has always been flawed."
Someone I know after working for a big grocery store for 10 years was happy to tell me they make $1 over the minimum wage.
They can only be scheduled for 24 hours per week. I suspect if they got scheduled for 40 hours the company would have to pay them benefits.
The company they work for is public. Looking up the CEO, he gets paid ~$12.6M per year. While the employees are making basically minimum wage, which is $18.25/hour in BC.
The CEO pays himself more than $8000/hour. He makes over $64,000 in a single 8-hour day, more than the employees make in an entire year.
I don't care who you are, no amount of work you do could possibly be worth this much over your employees. This is wage theft, and when combined with all the executives of the company, artificially increases the cost of products sold in the stores for all Canadians.
Tax. The. Rich.
