Wal-Mart pays its 1.3 million workers so little that they qualify for various forms of public assistance, mostly in the form of Medicaid, government provided children’s heath care programs, emergency home heating assistance, housing assistance, and so on.

I would argue that the threshold for receiving this kind of assistance is too low. Who's right?

The threshold for receiving any kind of public assistance is not low, in fact one can make a fairly decent sum of money and still qualify for a lot of government programs..I take advantage of all that I can.. If people would check out the income level of a lot of these prgrams that are available, you do not have to dumpster dive for food to survive..To receive section 8 in this area 1 person can net over 2 thous a month, lower energy bill, medical reduction on energy bill, ,lower phone bills, renters and home owners tax rebates yearly, free comodity foods, the list goes on and on,
