Wal-Mart Executives Give Themselves 300
Million in Bonuses and Receive a 100 million dollar Tax Break
Walmart's motto: the top get theirs, everyone left gets the
trickle down scraps.
You’re welcome.
You’re welcome.
Taxpayers are not only
subsidizing Walmart's low-pay workers, but also the obscene pay of top
executives. Walmart reduced its tax bill $104 million by exploiting a loophole
that allowed eight executives to pocket more than $298 million in bonuses.
In short, “the bigger the
executive bonuses the less Walmart pays in taxes", according to Frank
Clemente, executive director at Americans
for Tax Fairness.
This summarizes modus
operandi of the vast majority of American corporations. These "leaders" read too much of
Darwin and Wallace's early explanation for diversity in evolution. They stopped reading before the theory
explains that altruism, sharing the results of the hunt with all members of the
tribe. We are currently stuck between the rich and powerful who are largely
incapable of understanding the "sharing" part, which makes the
species stronger. A true turning point
in history.
If the people who have
hoarded 1000 lifetimes the wealth needed to survive win out, we will shortages
of water and food so severe there will be wars for control of these crucial
recourses, and human life will mean nothing.
Killing off a large % of the population will serve population control
but crush our development of altruism, as the leaders of the stronger tribes
will kill hundreds of millions to ensure less competition for the little food
that is left. If the altruists prevail,
we will have the opportunity to build a better world, since for the first time
in our history we understand and can identify those who are incapable of
grasping the advantages of sharing ,and keep them (sociopaths 0.9% of the
population) out of positions of power.
Hitler or Gandhi? It is up to us.
