29. I have to leave for work now |

so I don't have time to fully deal with this but I'll get back to it later.
Wal-Mart's wages are often so low that their workers often receive food stamps and free medical coverage. In essence, the taxpayers are subsidizing them so their five Walton children can remain among the wealthiest people in the country.
I have no problem with people amassing wealth, but not upon the backs of people who made that possible. I'm sure some DUers can provide more information on how WalMart exploits its workers. And the fact that it puts American workers out of jobs by importing everything from China also hurts everyone.
And believe me, WalMart will NOT disappear if they paid their workers a living wage.
