Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Rather than cutting SNAP, let's just impose a "cheap labor vulture" tax on Walton family to pay for the SNAP subsidy they rely on.

      @emptywheel then another company complying with the law would take advantage of the subsidy to workers who earn little.

      @cal_abel Hey, you're the one who just objected to a $15/hr minimum wage. You're the one who wants to preserve that problem.

      @emptywheel I am the one that thinks that government has no right to interfere in any voluntary contract that anyone makes.

          @emptywheel Who's set of values do you apply for the purpose of economic calculation? Yours, or the individual in the situation?

          @cal_abel Well, you are advocating for YOUR values (WalMart subsidies but none for the poor) here. Be clear.

          @cal_abel No, you're advocating letting a bunch of freedom-destroying oligopolists exact demands. Very simple.

          @emptywheel Those freedom destroying oligopolists are competing against other oligopolists and innovation. That breaks down their power.

          @cal_abel Helped, of course, by the enormous subsidies you are ardently defending. WELFARE FOR BILLIONAIRES, Cal proclaims!

          @emptywheel Just to make clear. You are saying that it is ok for you to use govt to force me to act under your set of values.

          @cal_abel And you are saying the purpose of govt should help oligopolists infringe on our freedom. AND you're a teat-sucker.

          @emptywheel What information do you use to assess what is the living wage, Yours, or the individual in that situation?
