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.

Such welfare payments are indeed subsidies but they’re subsidies to the low wage workers, not to their employers.
Are you kidding me
BS
WalMart truck drivers are some of the highest paid drivers on the road and warehouse employees are paid competitively. This post only talks about store employees.
Hell no to them
You will notice that Wal-Mart is the only retailer that they attack on a regular basis. I worked for Walmart for a year at an entry level position, had 3 kids to support yes I received foodstamps in the essence of $180. A month. That wasn’t a lot but it did buy the basics.
They should be paying their own way.
Why?
Boycott
That’s stupid logic
