According to The Huffington Post, Congressional Democrats released a study Thursday that demonstrated how Wal-Mart’s wages are so low that many of its workers must rely on food stamps and other government aid programs, costing taxpayers as much as $900,0000 at just one Wal-Mart Supercenter in Wisconsin.

The report, “The Low-Wage Drag on Our Economy,” was produced by Democrats with the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Goodness! That’s really, really cold!

It’s -6°F here, on its way to a possible -14°F.

Our blistering high tomorrow will be 0°F. Sigh...

Subject: ButtHurt Form.

Dear: Mr./Mrs./Ms./Homosexual/Metrosexual/Bisexual/Lesbian/Transsexual/Cross-Dresser/Switch-Hitter/Ambiguous/It

Please use this ButtHurt Form to help all of FR understand why you got Zotted from the Premier Conservative Forum on the Internet.

Please note that ButtHurt Forms will be on Sale starting next week at WalMart, should you be unable to legibly fill out this form using your crayons.

If you wish, you may also attach an addendum to the ButtHurt form to explain in more detail the vast experience you have had in starting new companies and in hiring low/no skill workers for $15+ per hour, as well as details about the "extra benefits" that your companies provided to your employees.

Hopefully, those who are paying you to Troll FR are providing you a "real" living wage, plus full benefits.

It appears that your fellow Troll and/or your second Troll account will soon be Zotted from FR as well.

No, it isn’t the fault of Wal Mart.

But if tax breaks are a subsidy, and many here have told me they are (for non profits and such), then so is the government benefits paid to the majority of Wal Mart employees. If those were not there, the employers and employee may have had to make a different arrangement.

The issue is that if the GOP wants to grow, it needs to realize something. All those people working and receiving benefits will end up voting to keep them. If we keep going to a “service” based economy, and keep allowing immigration, the wages will drop dramatically.
