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 someone makes the decision to work there, that’s their decision. Why would I not shop there b/c Wal-Mart doesn’t treat their employees good? I bet their employees shop there, AND they don’t seem too concerned about working there, so why would I care if they don’t?
Less spin, more facts would have made the entire article worth reading but clearly TRUTHANDACTION cares little abt truth, else why preach rather than present factual evidence. Why does Walmart “take” gov’t $$? Ya’think it could be because they are the LARGEST recipient (thus processor) of welfare? I mean you REALLY don’t think Walmart shouldn’t be reimbursed for all of the WIC & “food stamps” it accepts, do you? And besides Walmart, whom else “gets” $$$ from our gov’t? Well, if they sell groceries then the likes of Kroger, Weis, Wegmans, Publix, Winn Dixie, Albertsons,
work at walmart for a while and see how u like it.
i can’t stand wal mart will be glad when they go bankrupt!
Maybe mom and pop business was the best they paid taxes
While a veteran lives homeless.!
Lots of businesses do not pay high. The worker chooses to work there. When I worked there some at the big clothing stores were not making the money I was and did not get all the benifits I did. Like the profit sharing we put nothing in but Mr. Walton gave it on their profits. I knew of employees back then retiring easily with 100,000 and they never put a cent in that it is what was given because of the profit. Everyone loves to knock the big guy down but just check the others not high pay eithger. One needs to get a trade or go to college for the big bucks like some of my children, that got trades, got college edecation one even a masters that is how to make the big bucks.
Most of these comments and beliefs is the reason why we are where we are today…… Ignorance is not bliss. Open your eyes!

no linda i have a heart ,but people need to think ,if you take a job with a company that is famious for treating there employees bad then you have no one to blame but your self , it would be better to picket the company and get the word out so uther people can help change the way employers treet there employees
