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.

ummm if I have a kitchen full of food which I can eat to survive that amounts to a little than nothing
Wouldn’t you want to cut out the largest contribution to the problem?!?
I don’t buy my monthly groceries at Walmart. I go to Aldis right now. They have been creeping up on their pricing as of last July.
And how would you do that?
Well by one I don’t shop there
How is it fascism, exactly?
I’ve wanted to shop Walmart less and less over the years here is another reason..
How would like them to do that? I’m lucky enough to have a decent paying job, but in the area where I live the majority of jobs are either at the mall, or at the grocery store, or in fast food restaurants. Also during the slow times those places cut your hours. I have been there, but I’m lucky enough to not be there anymore.
They need to have a maximum wage. If you make more than X amount, then you have to take that difference and spread it to your employees. Seriously if you are a ceo or something and you can’t live on 10 million dollars a year, then you are apart of the problem.
I agree Jay. Happy New Year. Party like the minimum wage is $19.99.
