Nope. Giving money to people that they haven't earned increases government dependence. You act as if Walmart is the legal guardian of its employees. It's not. Walmart is not responsible for the care and feeding of the people who work for it. No company is. The taxpayers aren't responsible either.
I'm saying if they paid enough that employees weren't on welfare the government would shrink. Instead the Waltons make billions not working and increase government dependence. Companies taking care of emloyees is the only way government will shrink. You must like big government.
Yet you never answered when I made a fair comparison, so let's try this again:
If you need a lawn care company, do you choose the one that will cut your lawn for $45.00 per cut or the one that charges $75.00 per cut?
If you need the brakes on your car replaced, do you choose the garage that will do the job for $550.00 or do you choose the garage that charges $850.00?
If you need a new roof on your house, do you hire the roofers that will do the job for $4,500, or do you choose the company that will do it for $6,500?
Nobody (including yourself) will overpay people to do the work that others will do for much less money. So why should the Walton's overpay their employees? You don't overpay the companies you use! You go for the best price like we all do.
Well paying them so little leads to government dependence and bigger government. You must love big government.
Since you do the exact same thing as Walmart, you must love big government too.
No I am not a billionaire paying workers very little.
But you look to pay the least for services or products you buy, don't you?
We all do. Why should we pay people more than their services are worth? That's exactly what Walmart and all other businesses with starter positions do. Like other companies, Walmart has several levels of employment. The bottom level pays the least. The other levels are doing quite well, but I know you don't want to acknowledge that.
