First off, I’m a conservative (independent). Second, in alot of communities there is nothing but subpar wages. Isn’t it interesting, that here (Huntington), that one can make more an hour at McDonalds than at Walmart.
All I’m saying is that everyone (employed) deserves to be able to feed their family and pay their bills. As for the competition, I agree that there needs to be the free open market. As for making profit, I agree that is the reason for opening of a business. But most business owners to go out of their way to end the competition. Nor is it a main priority. But the fine folks in Bentonville seem to see it as their right to become the only retail outlet in the country. If you want to know what that will entail, ask a senior citizen that had to buy from a company store in minig areas. Once Walmart gets what it wants, by being the only rteail store in the country, where will the free enterprise system be?
No you are not.
From each according to their ability to each according to their need, huh?
Conservative?
You're a freakin' TROLL.
“First off, I’m a conservative (independent).”
Yeah, and I am a millionaire formula one champion race car driver. Anyone can claim to be anything when sitting at a keyboard.
I suppose you may THINK you are a Conservative, but you are not. Your words reveal that.
If you honestly believe you are a conservative then you don’t know what it means.
Espousing minimum wages, “living wages” and promoting unions is most definitely not Conservative. It is is in direct opposition to free market principles.
Unions are socialist organizations by their very nature.
Promote unions and you promote socialism.

So how much should they be forced to get paid then? By the government?
I'm sorry- I am not buying your "first off I am a conservative (libertarian)" I smell BS
No they don't. If you're employed and unable to feed your family and pay your bills, then you should find a better job. Educate yourself if you have to, but find a higher-paying job. Better yet, start your own business - - work for yourself instead of for somebody else. It really is that simple. Basic economics. It is called capitalism and it is the basis of the economic system which has produced the greatest nation in history.
