Walmart purposely undercut established local markets in order to create micro , local monopolies. s they exploded, they dishonestly claimed to have primarily American made products until they got caught and shamed. They also have a long standing reputation for underpaying workers.

Can't speak to Target's business model, partly because there hasn't been as much investigation done, but their wages are above local average in my area, and their HR models are the Fortune 500 "Best Employers" list.

If price is way more important than quality or interaction, you're likely to have other maladjustments due to a skewed priority tree.

I have more issues with the creatures and cretins that shop at Wal-Mart then I do the company! What awful people!

Another huge problem is the sequestering of a ton of money that never really does the economy any good, which used to be shaken loose somewhat by estate taxes.
If a billionaire spent proportionately, I'd have no issue, but one can only buy so many pairs of pants or hamburgers, even planes.

For example, Walmart? Lots of workers are on food stamp, so we are effectively subsidizing Walmart. So they really didn't earn that money. We are paying for a number of workers who needs assistance for wages.

So...forgive me if I think wealthy should be taxed more to cover all sort of stuff that they benefit from because of all the peon workers are covered by benefits because they are not paid enough for.

Two interesting notes:
Over the past month with the help of an accountant I have taken legal steps to avoid paying taxes in ways I did not think were possible, but which I owe to Republicans. I also took legal steps to make sure that I'm paying taxes properly for services, which 99% of people do not do. When upper-middle-class white people start having to pay hefty fines or do jail time because they are cheating on taxes by paying their illegal immigrant workers under the table, let me know.

The link above tells us something about the history of capital gains taxes in the United States. It's not entirely self-explanatory but a quick glance illustrates that investors are doing pretty well under this arrangement.



This is a comparison between the rates paid to tax those capital gains and the top rates for the highest income earners. It's not clear to me why there is such a vast difference in the taxes paid on these different sources of income. The circular sidebar on the right of this chart tells you a little bit about who benefits and how much.



Taxes are really just not something that wealthy earners, particularly those who make most of their money from investment, are bothered by. And yet they were so very bothered that it was important for us to take a huge swipe out of that tax burden just recently! Can you even imagine how all of the above charts are going to change after the most recent tax bill? The level of inequality and unfairness we are tolerating this country right now is astonishing. It puts the lie to arguments about economic anxiety.
