This Is a Real Reason Why Middle-Class Incomes Remain Stagnant

The employer can't take anything from the employee because there was nothing of the employee that was rightfully theirs.

Walmart can't put people on public assistance because Walmart is not our government. Our government offered government assistance to those who decided on making lower wages or working part-time.

What Walmart is in charge of however is bringing products to their customers at a price that attracts them to their stores. That's it.

Unless you live under a rock you know that businesses have been raising prices for years blaming increased employee costs, which is how employers 'took it away,' by not passing it on.

Walmart has taken $100B+ in subsidies to build and staff. Then Walmart paid so little their employees qualified for public assistance screwing taxpayers not once, but twice.
 
I've been saying this for years. Unfortunately most of the Republican candidates have been talking about expanding this program. Hopefully they can be re-educated before one of them gets elected:

This Is a Real Reason Why Middle-Class Incomes Remain Stagnant

H-1B visas are used by large corporations to bring into the United States cheap foreign workers who typically have college degrees. Corporations like this because they can control these foreign workers, and keep wages low for Americans by hiring foreigners. H-1B visas are a big reason why real wages in our country have not increased for the average worker.

Each year, companies are allowed to import 65,000 new hires from foreign countries, plus another 20,000 who have received a degree from an American university. The result over the past decade has been to staff corporations with hundreds of thousands of foreigners in good jobs that should have gone to Americans. Many middle-aged Americans with families to support, particularly in hi-tech fields such as computers, are unable to find a good job today because of this terrible program. Now things are getting even worse. Some companies are misusing this program in order to lay off American workers and send their jobs overseas, after the foreigners are trained here in how to do the work. This results in an offshoring of thousands of jobs, which are then permanently lost to our country.

Despite this, misguided candidates for president support expanding H-1Bs, which would take even more jobs away from Americans. Marco Rubio, for example, introduced a bill earlier this year in the U.S. Senate that would triple the number of new H-1B visas allowed annually. Any economist will confirm that as unemployment decreases in our country, real wages should be increasing. But this is not happening and the H-1B visa program to bring cheap foreign labor into our country is the reason why. It is time to end H-1B visas, not expand them.

It sure isn't helping. I agree time to end them.

Walmart hasn't received a dime in subsidies, and i don't recall any business blaming rising manpower costs in general for increasing their prices.

The only people that screwed the taxpayers are those who applied for assistance--not Walmart. If you don't make enough at Walmart, either work more hours or get a second job as I have so many times in my life.

Why would our federal government subsidize Walmart and what Congress approved of it? Now if you're talking tax write-offs, that's not subsidizing. Every company does that no matter what their employees make. In fact they get higher tax write-offs because they pay their employees more. It's called business expenses.
