Reply #227: If you are that poor, assistance is available.

If you are THAT POOR, then you wouldn't be surfing and posting your outrage on the internet with a energy consuming computer with a $15+ a month isp.
That is...unless you found a library that hasn't blocked DU yet.;)

As was said above. Wal-Mart is not the poor person's friend. They have an entire ad campaign to get you to believe this, but it's no more true thatn their "Bring it home to the USA" cammpaign that was just as laughable a few years ago. Shopping there only ensures that more people will have lower wages, if any wages in the future. It's the company store syndrome. The more you shop there, the poorer American workers get.

And for everybody else who's talking about them selling affordable goods, BZZ WRONG. Much of their prices are artificially low, circumventing the "free market principles" libertarians espouse by offshoring work and cutting salaries. They are guilty of supporting starvation wages in the migrant worker Southwest, to their own employeees who they don't pay enough to have health care, to $4 A WEEK for making those artificially low products in China. Does anyone here REALLY thing that a 20" TV REALLY costs only $60? Yes it does, when near slaves built it.

Why not think about being paid a correct salary so that you can pay what a head of lettuce is REALLY worth?
