In Washington, DC, with Walmart trying to open 6 stores for DC’s 640,000 residents, there was an attempt to require large retailers (70,000 sq. ft. or larger) to pay $12.50 and hour. It lost, but by only 1 vote. In many areas, Walmart employees are getting significant Federal dollars in food stamps, and other payments because their wages are so low. Walmart’s CEO is paid $21 million.

BS. The average wage for Walmart store employees in more than $15 and they get sick leave, education assistance, health insurance, etc. Stop believing all of the UNION propoganda. The CEO of the world’s largest retailer is making FAR less than many of the people on Wall Street!
How much does your boss, Mr. Soros make? How much does he pay you? Why should there be a discrepancy? Duh!
Maybe fat Oprah can re-distribute her $3 BILLION to the poor?
Nahhh, those leftwing hypocrites keep their wealth they earned from free market capitalism while preaching socialism.
RE: Walmart employees are getting significant Federal dollars in food stamps, and other payments because their wages are so low. Walmart’s CEO is paid $21 million.
Why isn’t it possible to DECREASE the equivalent amount in food stamps for the equivalent amount of dollar one earns at Wal-Mart? That would encourage more people to work and decrease the amount of money government has to spend as well.
And if Walmart were regulated out of DC, many of these current employees would be earning $0.00 an hour, being total government dependents (food stamps, unemployment “insurance”, “disability” and welfare) and contributing nothing to the economy.
