Here is that proof you asked for about the federal government paying for WM employees health care. Statistics are from the Congress:

And how much would the govt be paying if WM did not have any payroll. The people you are refering to are primarily part timers who would not receive health care anywhere they worked. It just looks different because WM hires more people than anyone else.

DO YOU EVEN BOTHER TO VET your own crap you keep posting.... Sheesh, talk about a closest liberal....

This DUmbass report you quoted isn't from CONGRESS at all, so stop saying it is. Ever hear of hypocrisy... Your demonstarting it quite well today on this one...

From the actual BS report right there in front on page one from that union loving communist hack pondscum liberal site you linked to, it states:

http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/facts/miller-report.pdf

A REPORT BY THE DEMOCRATIC STAFF OF THE
COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE MILLER (D-CA), SENIOR DEMOCRAT

IT's a REPORT by a bunch of union supporting assbackwards liberal democrat pondscum STAFFERS....

GET THAT, staffers, not CONGRESS......

Now go away and take your lib crap with you. Maybe you would be better off over at DU... They'll love your crap over there...

And furthermore libtroll, it keeps saying ASSUMING on your first link to the communist site..

... Well you know hat happens when a liberal assumes anything, of course you seem pretty comfortable with it.....

It sure isn't from Comgress, and you really should think about moving over to DU, where you'll fir in just fine...

Still waiting for your 70% proof, but I don't think you have any integrity to admit your wrong..... DO YOU????

The staff of the House Committee on Education and Workforce estimates that because of the low wages of Wal-Mart, a Wal-Mart employee may result in a cost to federal taxpayers of around $2,103 in the form of federal public assistance programs. With approximately 1.3 million US employees and growing, this amounts to a total of $2.7 billion a year.

Your link is an outright lie.

Your link is titled "House Committee on Education and Workforce" but it leads to an anti-Wal*mart website which in turn cites "estimates" of "the staff" of a House committee.

How many outright deceptions are you permitted here in your "career" as a Free Republic poster?

From your link:

"Specifically, the Committee estimates that the low wages result in the following additional public costs being passed along to taxpayers for an average 200-employee store:"

$36,000 a year for free and reduced lunches for just 50 qualifying Wal-Mart families.
$42,000 a year for low income housing assistance, assuming 3 percent of the store employees qualify for such assistance, at $6,700 per family.
$125,000 a year for federal tax credits and deductions for low-income families, assuming 50 employees are heads of household with a child and 50 are married with two children.
$100,000 a year for the additional Title I expenses, assuming 50 Wal-Mart families qualify with an average of 2 children.
$108,000 a year for the additional federal health care costs of moving into state children’s health insurance programs (S-CHIP), assuming 30 employees with an average of two children qualify.
$9,750 a year for the additional costs for low income energy assistance."

Of course, if you didn't have the socialist policies in government above, the operating costs of Wal Mart could be lowered and the wage of workers could be raised. This is a government caused problem, the answer is not more government.

Why are you on FR?
