This is the same company that was for the higher taxes for the rich and then made sure to get a huge loan to pay bonuses ahead of schedule so the Costco execs and board members could avoid the tax hike. Hypocrites.
I don't beleive that makes them hypocrites. I can simultaneous believe in higher taxes, while optimizing my own situation based upon the current tax code. The notion that the only people who can argue for higher taxes have to maximize their own exposure is not robust.
Costco is supporting the rise in minimum wage only because it helps them. They have lower labor cost then their competitors. I can hardly see any employees in Costco warehouses. This is the same type of hypocrisy as them supporting higher taxes for the rich and then getting a huge loan to pay ahead of schedule bonuses for the execs and board members to avoid new tax rates.
