Bentonville, AR—With the value of the U.S. dollar falling faster than Barack Obama’s approval ratings, Wal-Mart has seized the opportunity to begin trading with gold. They have also made plans to pay their employees with gold coins, fearing that the value of the dollar under Obama will simply cease to exist. Wal-Mart also claims that they will fire any employee that isn’t willing to accept gold in payment.
President and CEO Mike Duke said that innovation is the key to making the move to gold. “We’re all about innovation here at Wal-Mart,” stated Duke. “I’m afraid that the dollar is going to be completely worthless here in another year. So we’re getting ahead of the curve. And if you don’t want to get paid in gold, you can always work at KMart.”

As the IRS WILL NOT ALLOW USA Employers to pay their employees in CASH, they DEFINITELY will not allow Employers to pay in GOLD!!!
Good for a Satirical Piece, Walmart would be asking for WAR with the IRS for even Considering it.

Oh man. You got me. And it’s not even April 1st. I had to click through and read the whole article just to be absolutely sure this was satire. If they could get away with it, Wal-mart would be the first to do such a thing.

True, and it won’t be taxable at all when the price drops and you sell it for less than you paid for it. That’s just one of many benefits of selling everything you own and buying gold!
Say, did I mention that it’s money?
