Nah dude, you be a fucking idiot. Moron just ain't an accurate enough description.
Who is it that you think is paying for those government benefits that a Walmart employee receives? Tax payers like me is the answer. And I don't shop at Walmart like you do.
The "individual" applies for the only job they can find; a job at a Walmart. Then the new hire finds out (sometimes through Walmart itself) that the income that Walmart agrees to pay is so low that the employee is able to qualify for and receive government benefits to make up for the low wages.
You know who would be the real moron in this situation? The employee that didn't take advantage of the government hand out.
Are you so stupid you don't take advantage of any and every government benefit available?
And why would Walmart raise wages (though they just did) when they can get the government to subsidize the Walmart employee? You think Walmart management is stupid? You think they don't understand that their payroll is substantially less buy using the government programs for their employees?
People like you are fucked up. You don't want workers to form unions. You don't want the government to mandate an increase in wages. You don't mind that other tax payers subsidize low wage workers. Just what the fuck is it that you want low wage workers to do? Suck on the government teat just so Walmart can pay huge money to the top executives? Fuck that.
