Well, guess what? As a taxpayer your taxes are picking up the slack via Federal Aid.
Yep, employers are letting you pay their workers.

Okay. Then let's get rid of those programs too. Why should we subsidize Walmart? Bob Marks

Okay. Then let's get rid of those programs too. Why should we subsidize Walmart? I hope you're not suggesting that we "get rid of those [social safety net] programs" without requiring Walmart to change its pay scales. I love this bit of political spine from Walmart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan: Like any organization of its type, Walmart has lots of low level employees - shelf stockers, etc. - and far fewer managers, and fewer at the next level, and so on up the ranks to just one CEO. They may promote from within up to a certain level, but I'll bet that zero vice presidents or Ph.D.s or CEOs ever started at the bottom. No matter how aggressively they promote people, there are not enough positions available to accommodate a substantial percentage of all their employees. "Unlimited opportunities" is a lie.

There were no government social safety net programs before 1930, yet people didn't starve. Why? There were plenty of private charities to provide a net. If Walmart is forced to raise wages, they will simply find a way to hire fewer people. That's true. But still, there are opportunities. I'll bet that the employees one or two steps up from the bottom rank are not on food stamps. Bob
