Wal-Mart Relies On Taxpayers To Subsidize Low Wages

According to The Huffington Post, Congressional Democrats released a study Thursday that demonstrated how Wal-Mart’s wages are so low that many of its workers must rely on food stamps and other government aid programs, costing taxpayers as much as $900,0000 at just one Wal-Mart Supercenter in Wisconsin.

The report, “The Low-Wage Drag on Our Economy,” was produced by Democrats with the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Actually, my apologies for speaking too soon, as I saw later in the thread that you corrected yourself. You’re a nice person.

Why yes, many liberals that I have known who work at low wage jobs, this includes the ones who stay in entry level positions at Walmart; openly brag about working as few hours as possible and having Uncle Sugaar pick up the tab.

This enables them to have the maximum freedom in their personal entertainment choices. Trips, conventions, cruises, etc. They do not worry about tomorrow because they know the government will provide.
