Oh, give me a break with the union crap. Someone making $10.50 an hour is going to also be on every social program on the books. So the taxpayer gets to pay the benefits, and Walmart keeps the cash. Is that the way you want the country run?

And not only that, but Walmart also deflates the prices and wages in any particular area, so other places go out of business, creating even more customers for taxpayer help. And that's a good thing why? Because we get lower prices on Chinese imports? Right. Great trade off.

Oh PULEEEEEEEEZE, not this nonsense again.

Where I live WalMart is one of the highest (if not THE highest) paying retailers in the area and they have not run a single store out of business. In fact other retailers and restaurants and other businesses keep popping up all over the place. Additionally, a job at WalMart paying $10.50 an hour pays more than the county government does requiring several years experience in office administration.

There are 2 reasons I don't work at the local WalMart, I don't want a full-time job, which is what they wanted me for, and they couldn't accomodate the part-time hours I was willing to work because of seniority of other employees. So I have the part-time hours I like at another job, but at only $6 an hour.

No one is forced to work anywhere..........

I'd rather people make 10.50 an hour than staying home collecting every welfare dollar out there along with free medical care.
You sure spew the union talking points. Doesn't Target sell the same Chinese goods? Don't they pay the same wages? Don't also deflate prices?

You guys are so easy to spot, little wonder the union membership is in such steep decline. The unions are run by idiots.
