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.

STOP IT NOW !!!
Ain’t this great?
Must end now that my money and should be given back to the American people
Having a business large or small doesn’t make you responsible for all the needs of everyone that performs work for you. Most small businesses are “mom and pop” operations and don’t have the capital/cash flow and big businesses have to turn a profit for their shareholders, the overwhelming majority of whom are small investors. Walmart pays its employees what they think the job they need done is worth to them. If the employee doesn’t want to work for Walmart at that rate of compensation that is offered they are free to work elsewhere for more money. And don’t give me any bologna about the minimum wage. That is already a big failure around here. People are being replaced by automation, people are getting shifted to a part time schedule rather than full time, prices are rocketing up and stores that used to be marginal are now clearly unprofitable and closing. People are losing jobs left and right. In L.A. Chinatown they fought for years to get a Walmart for their community. When L.A. passed the $15hr minimum wage, that store went into the red and now it’;s being closed. Very bad for that community!
I’m not an expert but it seems to me that as a society, I would rather supplement the income of the employees of Walmart and other such places as needed than to put them all out of work and pay for all their needs!
Still Pisces me off, Barbara So tired of the friggin welfare that we as taxpayers are being charged…
close these stores..open a piggly wiggly.$#%&!@*religion radicals too.
No wonder they can afford to pay nothing for wages!!!
Huh???
THIS IS so A LIE! I have 4 young adults that work at WalMart. This corporation gives schedules to accommodate college courses, random bonuses during the year, 401K & stock options P{LUS college scholarships directly or to children of employees. PLUS, discount card for purchases as well as promotions based on performance. NO! This is TOTALLY F**E NEWS by socialist union promoters!
Why? They make money. Why are we paying them? This is crazy
