Please give us some details as to how Walmart workers cost taxpayers 9 billion dollars a year. I read this thread and people’s comments, and I don’t know what this thread is discussing. Please explain how this apparent subsidy is costing us 9 billion a year.
The welfare benefits and supplementary income Walmart employees receive from the government amounts to 9 billion dollars. This creates an environment that suppresses wages and removes any incentive for low wage workers to improve their skills or find better jobs since it will cost their benefits.
This is a very complicated problem that rhetoric can’t fix.
