You socialist are nuts. Reinvesting in the company with more assets and employees isn't "hiding" money. If the expansion fails, then the money is gone. If the expansion increases the value of the business, then he is a greedy capitalist?

@daniellejones5981 My experience in the union has been the people getting paid the most aren't the most productive workers. The longer people have been in the company, the more they know how to navigate the rules to do the bare minimum without getting fired. Meanwhile, new workers are eager to learn and work. Of course, the new worker won't see that pay increase because it is reserved for the old timers according to a union contract that forbids merit pay or expectations of productivity.

 @daniellejones5981 Union's are redundant as most of the things they started for are illegal. *Child labor laws *OSHA *Wrongful termination *Fair Labor Standards Act

@h2lo704 "Worth millions" because he reinvested his money into expanding his business by acquiring more assets and hiring more workers. This should be praised instead of vilified. Only socialists hate job creators.

@h2lo704 Hide? It was visible reinvested in a company that provided more jobs for more workers. Of course, socialist finds working demeaning and evil.

@h2lo704 Money reinvested into the company either goes into more worker paychecks or into assets that improve worker productivity. If he even wants to benefit from the increasing value of the company, then he will have to realize a gain by selling part of the company and pay taxes on the gain. Of course, socialist hate jobs and productivity.

@h2lo704 Do you not even have a basic understanding of accounting? Profits of the company can be used in two ways, paid out to the owners or spent on growing the company. If they are paid out through salary or dividends, then the owner can use the money for his or herself. If it is reinvested into the company, then it is used on business expenses like employee paychecks. If you think hiring another employee is a form or tax evasion, then you need to read a basic economics book instead of another $30 Bernie Sanders book.

@bigcubanmike Call your congressman as unions don't care about young workers either. A union was happy to take from my paycheck at 17 without guaranteeing me more hours or getting more than $.10 above minimum wage. They just wanted my dues.

@SaurianSavior I was part of a union for 4 years as I put myself through school. I was paid less and got fewer hours than the people whose slack I had to pick up after. Our union also mismanaged our healthcare fund, so it couldn't afford our benefits. The union had an opportunity to merge our fund with a bigger union fund to get back all our benefits. The union leadership didn't want to give up their personal control of the fund, so they restricted benefits for part-time workers, increased co-pays, and tripled the deductible. So I do know who was taking my money, and it was people looking out for themselves at the expense of the workers.
