For the same reason that people that dont drive cars pay for you to have nice roads to drive on.Why not? Why should THEY pay? They aren't getting any benefit?....No. Why should they?Sounds like a good idea to me. Those that dont want their kids to have the meals can opt out of the program.
Will those that opt out get a tax refund?
People who drive cars pay for a lot of it in the form of gasoline (useage) taxes.
There is no comparison.
Do you know what the tax rate is on a "bonus check"?And the ceo's that cut the most jobs got the biggest bonus'. Yes, tax them more.Wow....You are really uninformed. Despite the number of US maker plants that have closed over the last 4 decades, a number equal to or even greater than number of foreign auto makers have built plants here in the US employing hundreds of thousands of American workers at very high wages. The only difference? No unions needed. In fact the employees want nothing to do with Paully, Joey, Mikey and Guido's mobbed up organizations. Just last year thr UAW tried to organize the VW plant in Chattanooga, TN....The union lost. The union then said "well, we got cheated. We're suing". They lost that too....Ya, me too. My father was the sole bread winner & there were 5 kids in my family... you know how he was able to do it? Back then, companies paid a living wage AND were taxed at a much higher level... forcing corporations to re-invest in themselves by paying their workers & constantly upgrading... now they outsource & use tax havens.
What did your dad make? About a buck an hour?
If he worked for the Big 3, remember you guys crying during the Bush years about how those guys were all making too much? Remember you guys cried about their "cadillac" insurance plans?
And now you will try to say this is why the Big 3 went bankrupt or why they moved overseas. Why would you say such things? Because you are jealous, ignorant and a fool. But now you will mock and ask if they made a buck an hour? You would truly refer to those days as the good old days.
Anyways, I laugh at Americans like you because instead of arguing for you to get the same pay as those union workers, you went along with the GOP on lowering their pay. And now you cry because wages are down.
I can't even wrap my brain around what a hypocrite you guys are. The stupidity is immeasurable.
Just remember that in 1999 the Big 3 had record profits and paid out record profit sharing to their workers. So don't try to blame unions for the Big 3 going bankrupt. When you send all those jobs overseas and you raise gas to over $4 a gallon like Bush did, you see corporations will start hurting. But I think they did it to break the unions. To get the employees to take cuts.
So now those auto workers are almost as broke as you. Are you happy now loser?
BTW, the wages plus those Cadillac health plants cost GM for example, $70 per hour per worker. There is no way that in this highly competitive auto marketplace, that is sustainable.
GM is paying over ONE MILLION pensioners....That is one million people not working but being paid wages and medical benefits.
Oh and while we're on the subject of record corporate profits....Oh well, no need to explain. You are well aware the hypocrisy I am about to point out...
Lastly. What makes you believe that taxation forces business to invest in anything but paying taxes?
Since 2001, the country has lost 42,400 factories, including 36 percent of factories that employ more than 1,000 workers (which declined from 1,479 to 947), and 38 percent of factories that employ between 500 and 999 employees (from 3,198 to 1,972). An additional 90,000 manufacturing companies are now at risk of going out of business.
Long before the banking collapse of 2008, such important U.S. industries as machine tools, consumer electronics, auto parts, appliances, furniture, telecommunications equipment, and many others that had once dominated the global marketplace suffered their own economic collapse. Manufacturing employment dropped to 11.7 million in October 2009, a loss of 5.5 million or 32 percent of all manufacturing jobs since October 2000. The last time fewer than 12 million people worked in the manufacturing sector was in 1941. In October 2009, more people were officially unemployed (15.7 million) than were working in manufacturing.
But American companies have difficulty competing against foreign countries that undervalue their currencies, pay health care for their workers; provide subsidies for energy, land, buildings, and equipment; grant tax holidays and rebates and provide zero-interest financing; pay their workers poverty wages that would be illegal in the United States, and don't enforce safety or environmental regulations.
Proponents of free trade and outsourcing argue that the United States remains the largest manufacturing economy in the world. Yet, total manufacturing gross domestic product in 2008 (at $1.64 trillion) represented 11.5 percent of U.S. economic output, down from 17 percent in 1999, and 28 percent in 1959. As for our balance of trade, U.S. imports of goods totaled $2.52 trillion in 2008, while exports came to $1.29 trillion -- creating a goods deficit of $821 billion. Those imported goods represented 17.6 percent of U.S. GDP. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2008 stood at $700 billion -- or more than $2,000 for every American.
Damn that Guido and Mikey!
The Plight of American Manufacturing
There is 1 billionaire for every 600,000 people. Taxing them more is not going to help those 600,000 very much.And how many are there here in our country to make a difference?Sp you are on record for higher product prices?How about get rid of tax loopholes & entitlements like bonus' to CEO's who companies are 'too big to fail'. Tell me why the Walton family are billionares many times over, but are allowed to hire workers at abysmal wages who need those 'entitlements' just to get by paid for by the taxpayer?
Are you on record for subsidizing billionares?
Enjoy knowing where your tax dollars end up going to... the REAL welfare Queens:
'Uncle Sam's Favorite Corporations'

Nope. There are 492 billionaires for 318,000,000 people. Roughly 1 billionaire for every 600,000,000!They always seem to find all the funds necessary to fight two wars."Pay up"?......Why?Schools should be open 6 to 6, six days a week, all meals provided so you can keep an eye on them, help them learn to teach themselves, and run their fat little asses off. The parents have work to do. If you actually cared about children you'd pay up for that, but you don't, and never will...
You're right about one thing...It will NEVER happen.....There is no money to pay for it..
The sheer logistics of releasing then busing kids home at the height of rush hour is impossible.
Meanwhile Donald Trump alone is sitting on $8 billion dollars. That's not including buffet koch Soros and Rupert Murdock.
I'm watching shark tank right now. 5 billionaires on the show. There are so many millionaires and billionaires in America. There are so many billion dollar companies in America. Please stop asking where we're going to get the money.

It's considered "Luxury Tax".
The government gets 1/3 of it
Dad2three should have his taxes raised immediately since he's all in favor of big brother doing the job of parents.
My brother is a VP and he has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it. And he's just a VP. He doesn't make $1 million a year yet he is rich beyond any of these right wingers could dream of being and I swear it would bother poor Republican usmb members more than it would him.Do you know what the tax rate is on a "bonus check"?And the ceo's that cut the most jobs got the biggest bonus'.

Weird, MOST CEO's top exec's get stock options, taxed at Cap gains rate, 20% today
EFFECTIVE RATES
And they get them anyway.Isn't it amazing that Mitch McConnell is able to get poor whites in Kentucky to vote for him by telling them Obama is giving poor brown people things Mitch himself won't give them?What the fuck is wrong with you?
You are just asking that now?
Heck as long as the government is not feeding any brown children he really doesn't give a damn about school lunches.
Why is it always Republicans who come up with this stuff?
Could be. I am a reading/language arts teacher....not math, lol.
Why should we punish those that are gifted and work hard. Most of them create businesses that employ hundreds if not thousands of jobs.
Could be. I am a reading/language arts teacher....not math, lol.
Which means you're a welfare bum yourself since you're paid for a job that has no social value.. We should only teach STEM in school. THINK
ONLY STEM? Hell I thought the US had enough psychopaths, you want to get rid of humanities? lolWhich means you're a welfare bum yourself since you're paid for a job that has no social value.. We should only teach STEM in school. THINK
Sp you are on record for higher product prices?What did your dad make? About a buck an hour?
I'm not sure how you meant that & I don't know how much he made... but he worked at a factory that manufactured silverware, a real dirty job. But back then $1.00 was a hell lot more in its worth than it is would be today... which is what $5.00 is now.
Not meaning anything, just asking. The thing is, wages are not what they used to be nor is the cost of living. I think the big difference is that we now pay more in taxes such as city, county, state, federal, sales, school, gasoline...etc. not only to pay for the massive infrastructure but also the entitlements and a huge chunk of money for welfare and a bloated government.
Reduce the size of government, get rid of welfare and families would have a better chance of living on one paycheck.
How about get rid of tax loopholes & entitlements like bonus' to CEO's who companies are 'too big to fail'. Tell me why the Walton family are billionares many times over, but are allowed to hire workers at abysmal wages who need those 'entitlements' just to get by paid for by the taxpayer?
