P-O-V-E-R-T-Y, that means poor. While working full time, if your lucky, you will still qualify for government assistance. Walmart opposes minimum wage increases.

In the meantime Walmart, CEO raked in $23.15 million dollars and the Walton family making more with profits measured in the billions of dollars.
