Although I'm annoyed, I'm not clear myself why. She's taking a job of someone who probably really needs the paycheck. Also, she's double dipping, so to speak, and I'm wondering what she needs all the money for. Putting reading the thread, maybe I shouldn't be.
Additionally, if Wallyworld is shamed into giving her benefits, how does that work with what she is already getting with Medicare?? Is she really preying on the system ?
I'm really not sure why either. How is working and taking a pension she earned by working earlier double dipping? And why should she stopping making more money just because you think she has enough?
Why should the rich get to decide what workers make? Oh and do you seriously think 1 billion, or 10 billion or 80 billion is poverty? Oh, it isn't? The the issue isn't wealth , it is lack of introspection. No one is trying to claim inequity should not exist at all. But only an idiot who has way more than they could possibly need would think that isn't enough.
In a secular society no one group, in political party, in religion, or class gets to dictate to everyone else. So my suggestion to the uber rich is if they want government off their back then paying their share and paying directly to workers instead of corporate welfare would be a better tactic. But if they chose not to do that, the other classes have the same right to vote for their own self interests.
Now you can deal with reality or not, your choice. But no one owes the rich submission anymore than we owe religion submission.
