So we have had soaring profits which would allow for better wages. That is my point.
That's why you don't understand business. Wages are not tied to profits or success unless you have profit sharing. If your company is doing well, you can exercise your option to buy stock in the company if you wish to share in their good fortunes. But in most cases, you get paid a certain wage for your particular job no matter how the company does.

Sorry but it's a fact, plenty of profits for high wages. You don't understand labor. If Walmart paid more they would have a better business. But hey you are defeated. The best we can do is hope to keep bad jobs. Loser mentality.
So Walmart and all it's success doesn't know of your little secret? Sorry, but why don't I believe that?
I'll tell you why, it's because the unions told Democrat leaders to spread the word around that all Walmart jobs are low paying garbage jobs. What they don't tell you is Walmart offers the best possibility for advancement. Low level Walmart jobs pay the same as Target or K-Mart. Walmart pays their management pretty well, they pay their truck drivers pretty well, they pay their office staff pretty well, they pay their warehouse people pretty well.
Don't believe Democrat politicians, they are all born liars.
As for what a company pays their employees, yes they could pay better wages, but why should they? They can get the same work done for less money and keep their investments attractive at the same time.

I think they are starting to get it, they have recently made improvements.
So yes they could pay more, thank you. Now do you agree this would strengthen the economy? Imagine people having more to spend. Imagine fewer on welfare. Imagine more people paying income tax and appreciating the ideas of small gov and lower taxes.
so if walmart pays its employees more, what happens next? They have to raise prices. When they raise prices they sell less stuff. When they sell less stuff they don't need as many employees. So the end result is more people collecting unemployment.
economics is not complicated.
You are jumping ahead. One step at a time please. Remember there are plenty of profits to pay more. You don't think more people making good money is good? You don't think the economy would grow? You want people dependent on government?
Let's stop the loser attitude and discuss what would really help people out of poverty and grow the economy.
