How much "should" they give? What would Obama and his minions deem to be the "fair share"? |

How much are their tax savings as a percentage of annual profits? What are the plans for the additional profits from tax relief? Would buying new planes or paying down debt be a bad thing? |

That question has been asked zillions to the lefties and guess what? They never give an answer, as you well know. |

As for the $3 an hour increase in the minimum wage; how many employees will that actually affect? I doubt that there are very many minimum wage workers at any bank; certainly not the tellers, not the accountants. not the folks working in the loan department or the mortgage department, not the personal bankers or those working with businesses. I suspect even the custodial staff is making well in excess of minimum wage.
So, except for a tiny percentage, the banks are raising the wages of no one.
In return for which, their tax rate is being reduced by 40%.

When you got all those raises over your 30-40 your career in the Post Office how much profit did the USPS show in those years? I assume pay raises and bonuses come from profits, no? :lol:
Also, many of those PO's upper level management types nationwide got yearly bonuses on a fairly regular basis despite the PO annually losing money, annually losing customers and annually becoming less and less efficient under their 'leadership'. |

It hasn't been answered because it is a stupid question. What I do know is that as long as CEO compensation is thousands of times worker compensation, it is not a fair share. |

Thank you for remembering my birthday. Here is a trivia question for you.
What historical event occurred one year to the day prior to the day you were born? |

In 2006, the Republican Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, a blatant attempt to destroy USPS and replace it with a for profit postal system. The PAEA required USPS to pay up to $5.8B a year to fund future employee health benefits. I mean way future-like 75 years.
Were it not for those payments, USPS would have shown a surplus in 11 of the last 13 years.
As far as raises are concerned, aside from COLA, I do not recall a wage increase over 1.5% in the last 20 years before I retired and many times not even that. One of managements favorite tricks was to give a one time bonus in lieu of a pay raise. Which meant that the next time the contract came up your base was the same as it had been at the previous contract. |

Another appearance of the Christmas Grinch, or perhaps the Domino's Noid.
The benefits of those who received them may not have been up to YOUR ideal, but I'm sure those who did receive them were happy about them regardless!! |

You DID have the option to pursue another line of employment, but decided the USPS was your best option, despite this pattern of trickery, right? |
