Great Article.

This is what the right often forgets. Low wages cost the taxpayers of this nation a great deal. Wall-Mart like companies pay so little that most of their hard working employees receive tons of bennifits from the tax payers. They receive Food Stamps (up to $500 / month), energy assistance (up to $200 / month) free medical care for their children ($500 / child / month) a Tax Refund of $4,000 / year on taxes they didn't pay. They recieve free care for them selves and many other bennifite if they get really sick and need long term Hospital care.

This means that $6.04 / hour is costing the taxpayers of the nation another $5.00 / hour or so.

Does Wall-Mart and all other low wage paying employers really need this kind of Welfare???
