Sadly there are no checks & balance for greed ... Benzo, Gates, Walmart, Apple - what do they give back *?*

For a job where all you do is scan and package stuff, getting a minimum pay of $15 is pretty darn good. I don't see why people are raging over these tax cuts when the company is investing in employee safety and care.

Well, I’m sure it will generate more money for NYC and Long Island. However, us here in upstate NY near Albany continued to get taxed out of existence with taxes getting higher every year. I think, send my money our way and not more towards the city. Oh, Cuomo did send us 10 million for some upgrades to infrastructure and what not, but it’s not enough. If you ask me, separate NYC and us here in upstate. We don’t need them anymore. Our tax Dollars just continue to be sent down there, not here.

They are whining because they did not profit from the deal.
