Even though Wal-Mart is a colossal money maker, it barely pays it’s workers enough to live comforably, forcing employees to go on food stamps, Medicaid and other social welfare programs.
Wal-Mart pulls in $36 million dollars per hour – being the largest seller of food in the world. Yet, they don’t take care of their employees.
Through your tax dollars you are, in essence, handing a Wal-Mart cashier your money but not even getting so much as an empty bag in return.

For the last 8 Obama years, we were run by shadow government with Soros at the helm.
Only hurts those already on food stamps and on social security.
If the Congress raised the minimum wage to a living wage, maybe they could live without federal assistance.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. No differently than any other basically qualified job. If a ‘living wage’ is the goal, then a higher position should also be the goal. Not just at Walmart, but anywhere.
Don Stoeffler thank you! The reality actually spoken from someone who knows! This is all true! Walmart is and has been killing small business in my town, and what the managers make is not any better than their under dog/employees! It’s actually a fixed salary while the rest get yeh so hourly wages, and if we think our wages suck, managers feel money stuck! And what also bothers me about real mart besides bad customer service or none at all, is they got 20 registers and they only keep 3 open! If you wanna get in & out quickly, which I do, cause I’m always in a hurry, I go through the self check out lanes! Although for the most part, you do get out faster than everyone else who are waiting on a cashier acting like a robot, the machines are annoying! You almost wanna beat the heck out of them in frustration when they act sensitive over every item you put in your bag, and it tells you something unexpected in the bagging area because it doesn’t recognize the weight of the item touch the counter for its sensor, is what I’m talking about! But am I allowed to beat it to death? No! That’s trouble that’s not worth my dignity or integrity, but I make fun of it when it talks back to me! E.g.: “thank you for shopping at Walmart” says the computer voice, and I’m like, thank you for being slow$#%&!@*robot, NOT!!!
John Garcia that’s not true! That’s off base! Immigrants from Mexico and the Middle East come here to our land expecting handouts they won’t work for! As far as I’m concerned, is Americans actually work our butts off to prove ourselves to deserve our money and living and comfortability, but there are others who want a handout, from foreign nations cuz they think they’re a pretty face-trophy man or woman think they’re king or queen! And wal mart is feeding and enabling their me me me, I, I, I foolish and selfishness!
True! What’s with their slogan? “Save money, live better?” For every time I shop Walmart and check out my stuff, I hear my wallet crying like a little girl! We’re not saving money, we’re blowing it! Their prices for little knacks and decor are another $5 more marginally than a set of dishes! What is that? It’s like going to car dealer and spending more on a compact car than a truck because they got you believing that the car is a gas saver, what if it’s not?! What if it’s more of a gas guzzler than the truck?
Even though they pay good, but then their expectations for the pay makes you wanna jump ship!
I actually know immigrants who work 2 or 3 jobs and don’t ask for handouts while idiots get ssi for depression!
Then why dont they just saying
