A comment on Amazon's Bezos Launches $2B Fund to Help the Homeless. Parent comment
Crazy thought but are we incentivizing this behavior?
I haven’t seen any math on this, but if I pay workers more I still pay the same tax rate on profits and profits will be lower.
OTOH if I pay them less, profits are higher, my stock goes up. I donate stock to my charitable fund and get a personal tax break.
