Also note that the welfare that employees get is actually welfare that the Walton family gets. They are paying below market value for employees and using the government to enrich themselves. I wrote about this some time ago from my own experience, I Was a Middle Class Food Stamp Kid. Conservatives have a hard time seeing it this way, but I'm right about the economics. It's just that they never want to admit when the rich manipulate government programs for themselves. In the case of Walmart, it's a twofer: they get the money they don't have to pay and then that money is mostly spent at Walmart.
ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. And neither will racist,homophobic, or misogynistic comments. I do not mind if you disagree, but make your case in a decent manner.
