where in the heck did I ever, ever indicate that I wanted to mandate a certain wage? Yeah, no where.
I’m not mandating anything. I’m expressing my opinion, as a tax payer and someone who is in business. I happen to know the retail players very well...and I don’t want to pay for other people’s food and medical benefits because the company they work for won’t provide adequate wages or medical coverage options.
How your takeaway is that I’m mandating something leads me to believe that you just want to argue. So...argue away I’m done replying to people who do not wish to understand what is really happening w/ Walmart.
What wage is "right" for you? Where is there ANY requirement that a business provide medical coverage? The "collectivists' are the ones that demand those be provided by the government. Take it up with them.
You claim to be in business. May be you think you have an obligation to do more than provide opportunity and not to make a "PROFIT". The role of business is to make money. If that requires the hiring of people, then the more you pay to them in wages and benefits, the less is available for PROFIT.
I am now retired and living in the Philippines. I wish WalMart would build some stores here. Always low prices.
If they were not adequate, people would not work there.
