It's A Small World After All

First off, no one said it was about class.  Stop correcting people who said the same thing you said.  It makes you look as if you aren't paying attention.

Secondly, have you considered that donating meals to the local community might have nothing to do with wages?  These meals may be going to elderly shut-ins, the disabled, or the homeless.

Third and lastly, paying a living wage cannot be the best charity because it isn't charity in the first place.

DID YOU NOT READ my post.

Food Lion "donates" meals to the community..... Sounds great on the surface. I don't care if they are going to the elderly. And actually, their adds, at least locally, are not mentioning age  in feeding people, where I live.  If giant corporations stopped using "charity" as a PR scam, and actually paid livable wages and paid taxes to fund social security and medicare that old person wouldn't need that "charity", and less people would need food stamps regardless of age. 

YES paying a livable wage IS the best charity. 

Yes, I read your post.  I always read what you write before I reply to it.  I also make an effort to understand what you're getting at.

I don't see why you have an issue with Food Lion donating food to needy people.  I grasp your point about taxes going to fund social security, but that (increased wages) isn't going to help people that are hungry right now. 

And no, paying a livable wage isn't charity in any way, shape or form.  It's fair, it's just, it is ethically the right thing to do, but it isn't charity. If it were charity, Food Lion would pay people $25/hour not to come to work.
