Bernie loves the loss of jobs that always happen with 15.00 per hr.
Bullshit. Amazon just raised their minimum to $15.00. Chick-fil-A is paying a minimum of $17.00. My companies pay a minimum of $23.50. All three are doing very well.
You really need to back-off the Putin concept of companies can't afford to pay their employees a living wage.

Equivalent to a Walmart tariff that consumers will ultimately pay. You know, those middle class and poor customers?
Make an argument that Walmart can't afford to raise pay and buy-back stock while never touching their prices.

Create your own WalMart, pay as much as you'd like.
Let me know when your IPO is ready.
That's not an argument, that's bloviating.
You make it sound easy to create a WalMart and pay an arbitrary wage.
Is it?

The years 2013 to 2015 were during the BushCo economic crash recovery. Much different today.
The issue is Walmart, NOT one-size-fits-all.
Did you bother to read your own article idiot? This applies to all big to medium size corporations. Not just Walmart.
My issue is Walmart. But the fact remains that there aren't any companies that can't afford to pay a $15.00 an hour minimum wage.
You're lying.
Prove it.
`A lot of business where I live would either go under or fire staff if they had to pay $15 an hour.
Maybe the socialist could sell a few of his homes to help the poor.
The issue is stock manipulation, $4 trillion since 2009.

`A lot of business where I live would either go under or fire staff if they had to pay $15 an hour.
It would kill a lot of small/medium businesses.
`I am against this bill.Government should never, EVER meddle in the economy.

Which businesses?

$4 trillion hasn’t been returned to shareholders. Sorry.
Do the math.
I thought you were referencing Walmart.
If the government passed a law making buybacks prohibitively expensive like in that bill, companies would stop buying back stock and start paying their cash out in dividends. They wouldn’t increase the pay of their employees.
The reason why is because what shareholders want is cash returned to them. Right now, it’s more tax efficient to return cash via buybacks than dividends. But if you made it more tax efficient to return cash via dividends by raising taxes on buybacks, companies will just increase dividends.

The Walmart seven are taking the company private. A shareholder either takes the market offer or stands the risk of their stock losing value. To pay for this, Walmart has paid their employees crap, taught their employees to live off of public assistance, and manipulated government subsidies to build stores. Once the subsidy ran out, the majority of the subsidized stores developed a nationwide plumbing problem and closed.
I think the absolute least Walmart can do is paying their employees $15.00 per hour.
Starbucks is holding a massive stock buy-back program?
Starbucks (SBUX) plans to use proceeds from its marketing deal with Nestle (NSRGY) to accelerate share buybacks and return $20 billion in cash to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividends through fiscal year 2020.
Starbucks Accelerates Buybacks, Targets $20 Billion Cash Returns
Guess it depends on what you consider massive...
Why is it called The Walmart Act?
Because moronic socialists like yourself need catchy little phrases to get excited.
A company that took government subsidy can't be held to a higher standard?
You could apply that to companies allowing employees to use Obamacare. However that would result on no Obamacare.

You need to.
Some jobs are not suppose to be a living wage.
You get full time permanent jobs in order to get a decent living wage.
It is a fact that some get laid off and some locally owned resturants and businesses close down when 15.00 an hour is forced.
`I am against this bill.Government should never, EVER meddle in the economy.
I see some government intervention as necessary,
