Are you talking about people that are ON welfare, but also work for Walmart?
Where is that happening? There is ONE wheelchair bound guy that works at my Walmart. Is he somehow subsidized by me to work there?
If so, I’m all for it. Hire all the Vets and Disabled you want, Walmart.
There are very few things I DON’T b*tch about when it comes to Mother Government. This, along with police, fire, EMS, Libraries and decent roads is one of the few things that don’t bother me.
Maybe I need more examples of how workers at Walmart are ‘subsidized’ at Walmart for me to get upset about this.
P.S. Yes. I can READ a package label. I only buy American Made stuff when I purchase things, with the exception of Avocados from Mexico and Vodka from Poland. ;)
Those Mexican avacados are owned by the drug cartels now. They thank you for helping them launder their drug money.
Polish vodka?
SALUT!!
>>Are you talking about people that are ON welfare, but also work for Walmart?<<
If you are an adult working minimum wage, you are eligible for several means-tested benefits like food stamps (eligible if annual income under $16,752) Medicaid (eligible if under $18,075) and quite a number of other benefits.
Several years ago, I read that walmart has training material that helps employees get on various ‘benefits’ programs like food stamps.
Not specifically him, but Walmart workers collect 8 billion dollars in taxpayer dollars a year on top of their wages.
That is ridiculous, what is the motivation for corporations to provide living wages to attract talent or employees to search for better jobs/improve themselves when taxpayers are subsidizing their wages.
If you are a corporation paying more to their workforce you don’t get the benefits you should in a free market because the benefits of your higher wages are offset by lose of welfare.
If you are an employee you have no motivation to improve yourself because there is no monetary benefit.
It is literally the worst of both worlds
