Thom Hartmann: If a business won't pay a living wage - it shouldn't exist

[thomhartmann]

Owning and operating a business in America isn't a right - it's a privilege. So, if you won't pay your employees a living wage than you have no business doing businsess

1. I don't understand why every crappy corporations thinks it has the RIGHT

to sell their crap here in the US. Most of them don't pay taxes to support our markets, our infrastructure, or our transportations systems, our police and fire protection, our military. Since we the people are paying most of the taxes to support most everything then we should be able to vote on which corporation we want selling their crap here in the US.

Corporations that don't pay taxes in the US should NOT be allowed to sell their crap in the US.

2. Nationwide retail/fast food corporate boycott for a day?

Maybe we should organize a single day, nationwide boycott of all corporations not providing a living wage. Then, perhaps, they'll finally realize how much we mean business.

4. I really think the best thing we could do for the economy right away would be to double the minimum

wage.
