"Sorry, no deal. I won't play the minimum wage game."
But that is EXACTLY what you are asking for in this case. You are explaining what everybody should have in your fantasy world, but you arent willing to face up to economic reality.
That is not what I am asking for. I am asking for Wal Mart to do the moral thing and shave off some of their billions and companies like them to pay their people a living wage as defined in previous posts.
Wal Mart is so powerful they can dictate to suppliers what they will pay. That's what they did to Rubbermaid. Luckily Rubbermaid squeaked by that one, but how long they can hold on is anybody's guess.
I don't want any other dish drainers than Rubbermaid because I'm spoiled and Rubbermaid is an American company who obviously has to import their materials from the foreign market. I liked K-Mart and Sears as separate entities. All these buyouts are not good for our country in the long run.
In the 70's during a four-year period as a computer programmer, my company changed hands twice; my paycheck had three different company names on it. Luckily they bought the employees in the buyout and only brought the new managers in. That was the 70's.
