My question was serious. If the assistance is eliminated and the workers will not be able to subsist, are you saying that the wages will go up? Was it your point?
How this change would play out? Can you elaborate?
My point is basic economics: People will either look for a job elsewhere or ration their money in more productive ways. The existance of health insurance paid for by either companies or the government has done nothing but drive up the cost of health care.
Secondly, many of these jobs are held by either:
1. Senior citizens who are already elligible for other health programs (which is not the fault of walmart)
2. Teenagers who are covered under their parents health plans.
3. Married people who are covered under their spouses health care plans.
Everyone working at walmart has to support a family and provide health insurance? Well, that reality only exists in the mind of socialists and PBS specials (probably redundant)
This is nothing more than a canard to go against walmart. The people working jobs who are not covered by some kind of health care is much, much smaller than these liberal groups would have everyone believe. How can I be so sure? Because it's the same every damn time they do one of these phony 'studies' for health care or minimum wage. They act like some 17 year old kid mopping floors has to support a familiy and have his own health insurance when he's living at home and covered by his parent's insurance. It's complete and utter bull dung.
But as demonstrated on this thread, many freepers (the closet socialists) eat it up because it fits their agendas.
