How Selling Crack Is Like Working at Walmart

[John Lesley]

The illegal drug trade is suffering from the same economic quandary that's affecting everyone else in the 21st century: The gap between the incomes of the rich and poor is growing.

Drug dealers peddling crack on the street earn only around $4.57 an hour, or $400 a month, according to a study published recently by Treatment4Addiction.com, a website that connects drug users with rehab centers.
The handful of kingpins who lead big drug operations are estimated to earn a staggering $1.67 to $2.5 million a year, a margin that would make Sam Walton proud.
Do you want to start your career in such a crack Walmart??

Do the Republicans know about this?

Just get them to raise taxes to subsidize that low pay. Then send them to Walmart to take those classes to learn how to apply for tax-subsidized food stamps.
