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.

If you really knew about how the economy works, you’d be more concerned about all of the American based corporations that outsource their labor and manufacturing to 3rd world countries to save on taxes and making billions in the process. If they would have kept their jobs in America, we wouldn’t have as much on government assistance because there would be more jobs. The majority of Walmart’s products are US made.
I know!
Wtf
Bull. Fascism? Those payments are a result of the republican policies enacted by the Bush administration. This isn’t Obama, every time he talks about repealing those tax breaks he gets shut down by the republican house. Wake up you fools! Now that they run both houses it will only get worse!
How about making this huge company STOP hiring part time help!!! They do it purposefully so they dont have to offer them any benefits!!!
I boycotted them years ago!!!
Sam Walton wasnt… he is probably rolling over in his grave seeing what his children have done to his legacy!!!
They hire part time people so they dont have to offer any benefits or pay decent wages!! I boycotted them years ago!!!
I know a lot of Walmart employees who can’t get assistance because they make too much according to Florida standards. I know a single mom on disability $989 a month who doesn’t qualify according to Florida standards. So I not sure about these numbers sorry
A lot of the part-time help you gripe about them having are college students. Permanent part-time help can also have benefits if they’re willing to pay for them, just like every other company in America. Temporary seasonal help can get benefits once they’ve put their time in and become a permanent employee. You need do your homework before you go boycotting, it makes you look stupid.
