Which is exactly why your dollar has lost 97% of it's value and poor people can't afford anything.

You want to create an unsustainable system where everything is unaffordable to the poor

Your solutions lead to automation, offshore jobs and unemployment.

You do not understand economic tradeoffs.

So we should subsidize employers to keep them from utilizing technology and prevent them offshoring service jobs that are done face to face in real time and in person? You are OK taking money out of your pocket so the WalMart heirs can pretend to be donating THEIR money to charity while you help pay for their employees housing and fuel and medical care? You are a nicer person than me..here's an idea...give the subsidy directly to the employee and tell the employer to sink or swim with offshoring and technology. It is amazing to me how many so called conservative minded individuals are OK with corporate welfare but all in on keeping wages low so they can buy a happy meal for the kids and damn the consequences.
