How come people don't hunt chickens like pheasants? They sleep the same.

Beef bung rings  qty 3,000

 

Pinwheels  qty 72 so quality doesn't matter. 

 

 

How did you find beef bung rings? Bung bands turns up nothing.

It's difficult to find a reliable pinwheel and impossible to find cattle bung hole bands.

The first owl does look similar to @jbot.

Put it on a trailer. 

Money, Schools, and children with bad influences. Pfft...

Screw that teacher, give them shiny new transgendered bathrooms. :/

How come Olympic divers aren't fat? Their routine takes 5 seconds. 

This is a little different than having no motivation to work and expecting to be fed and housed. Without even reading it I'm guessing the county was betting on improvements and enjoying the revenue the business brought to the area and expecting expansion. 

They made the deals together. Someone kinda got burnt. We should just remove indemnification from corporations then.

My point is the wealthy get far more than their far share of welfare,but a lot of people are only concerned with poor people receiving government money.

How did she recieve welfare or assistance?

A local story about one of these wealthy sperm recipients that think they can run a company...research the Longaberger company.You won't believe me so research it yourself.But here's the short story...daddy starts and builds a Fortune 500 company, daddy dies from cancer,college educated daughter Tami takes over,ten years latter company is bankrupted and sold.Daughter walks away with tens of millions of dollars,taxpayer left holding the bag for delinquent taxes on top of all the corporate welfare in the past.But damn it. It 's that black single mother that is jobbing the system...getto rat!!!

What's your point? You just angry? Btw, CVSL owes that money and the counties not exactly going after it.

I would propose that whatever the gov't is subsidizing in terms of people on the payroll that work "full-time" -- lets call "full time" 32 hours/week or more -- the corporation should reimburse the gov't for first and foremost, and THEN figure out whatever other tax abatements are due.  

It levels the playing field for all the companies that DO pay enough to full time employees not needing gov't assistance.  My tax dollars shouldn't be used to pay for a private sector labor force so corporations can profit, which in WM's case, is around $6.2B per the link I cited

Saying level playing field is a stretch. How is that creating a level playing field? 

You're basically saying raise minimum wage and pay workers more. Unless you tie it to, reimburse the gov't for those workers on assistance if your profits are above xyz. I can see more off shore companies already. 

I think I finally understand the mentality of those who post meme's like the above. 

We pick a widely known corporation, so there's a connection, tell everyone how much profit they're making to appeal and fuel the entitled attitude, rich haters. Then exploit the buzzword loophole to make everyone think the corporation is cheating because they have money to do so. So simple it's stupid. I'm here thinking what in the world are they talking about? Is it Some super secret only the ultra rich know about and small corps can't do the same.

If you accept EBT / WIC, who do you think pays for that?  It's self-validating if #2 is true.

O. I didn't realize you were looking at from such a simple level. So what are we talking about then?  Is your opinion that corporations shouldn't accept, indirectly, tax payer money in the form of food stamps if they make over so much profit?

And it's cite, not site. As in, the web addess for the site above starts with www, and I'm using it to cite a source of information.

But yea, "friggin' myth"

Same argument for McDonalds or any other large corp that using gov't subsidized labor.

I like mispeling words. It allows you to feel better about yourself. 

The article jumps right into the term "loopholes". Replace that buzzword with legal tax deductions and tax avoidance.

I don't see where number three is validated.

The Walton family...a great example of the hard working successful billionaire class.Their greatest achievement in life was being a successful man's sperm.Kind of like the last three republican presidential nominees.At least Obama worked and became successful by his own achievements,it wasn't handed to him at birth.

Do you think being handed a business continues to run successfully on its own? No different from when you're gifted something. Perhaps you should return your Christmas gifts, that is, if you kept it nice. You'd look a gift horse in the mouth.

WM has the best business model

1) Get gov't (and us) to subsidize labor force

2) Accept EBT / WIC from labor force

3) Get reimbursed by gov't (us again!) for goods sold

Perfect.  Gov't pays for part of your labor, and whatever your labor makes is spent right back on goods you sell.  Get the gov't to pay you twice.  Taking advantage of every "legal" tax deduction is just gravy.

Who's really taking gov't welfare there?

1. Really how? Friggin myth. Because they pay minimum wage and those employees are on assistance? Can't have it both ways honey.

2. What business doesnt? Been to a local grocery store lately? 

3. Site your source

This mentality is what this thread was was originally about. Who believes the twisted statement and supports this idea. 

The word "take" sticks out. 

Should be re-worded. Wal-mart takes legal tax deductions. They're too profitable and successful. Lets find a way to take their money and give it to people.

So, the choices are Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump this year. One of these two will be our next president. I definitely won't be voting for Trump as he is a loose cannon, has no experience, makes hateful shit up as he goes along, & has sociopathic tendencies. The only reason he is in the race is because of his huge ego. I'll vote for Clinton. She's made some mistakes that I'm sure she has learned from but there is no comparison between her & Trump's motives. She has people that I respect endorsing her. (Any democrats endorsing Trump?). She doesn't have top level national security people writing open group letters saying that she would be the most dangerous president in history. Those of you that are arguing ideologies of far right vs. far left are missing the point here. If you don't like either of them then don't vote. If you're voting for Trump, put on your brown shirt & go to the polls early & stay late to make sure I don't cheat.

 Do you know why gangs form?

Yes! Can we call it Tax code poophole #11.

Re-powered a JD 212 with GX 390 clone. And converted a JD 316 deck to fit a 212. PIA. Not the most rewarding project ever but finished just in time to try-n-fix the failing hydro drives on the zero turn.

You're joking  right?I f you can't understand the point of my last post we're just wasting our time.I've got better things to do, this liberal has to get up at 4:45 to start my ten hour day...you know how us libs like our freebies.

 

Your point is either extremely weak or yah, I've missed whatever you're trying to make a point about.

You might want to go back and re-read my posts.I never said they don't pay more, I said they should pay more, much more.Keep playing with numbers.My point is if the middle class and poor  bare the burden of casualties and the rich refuse to,they should pay for the lions share of supporting the military that protects their assets.

How do they refuse to? So if the rich were in the military then they should get a tax break? I''d be for a tax break for military members and they already get a few..
