And who forced people to work at Wal Mart?

If you live in a small town and Wal-Mart put out every other business and there aren't any other jobs, then yeah, it's pretty much forced upon them.

If you live in a small town and Wal-Mart put out every other business

So WalMart's prices and selection were so much better that they put all the other stores out of business?
And you don't want better prices and selection?

They single- handedly put America on the Road to China...and millions of USA employees lost their manufacturing jobs....all for poorer quality items that are less money. All other lower end department stores and 5 and 10's were driven out of business or forced to leave America as well with manufacturing, so they could pay $5 (at most) a day labor for an 18 hour day to Chinese workers, locked in the factory they worked in,...to compete with Walmart prices being so cheap...and the Mom and pops had no way to combat Walmart pricing...they did not have the ability to place huge Letter of Credits to China, nor fill a Container to be shipped, to the USA of one product....it was the beginning of the Death of the middle class in America....now our largest employer in the entire United States is Walmart....'for goodness sakes!!!!

If you want to Praise that, just so you can save a few pennies,for giving up the quality, then so be it...

The problem with your theory is that Americans voted with their pocketbooks. Walmart wouldn't have gone anywhere if people hadn't fed them. Mom and pop couldn't compete because people didn't want to pay more for the same goods. Mom and pop needed to face reality and diversify and offer alternatives. Like better quality merchandise. Some did, some survived, others, not so much.

The middle class goes down when the economy goes down and visa versa, but again America voted for their pocketbooks to get what they could instead of sound fiscal policies.

Walmart appears to be your bogeyman.

...or you get the guillotine...

Which is always what happens when people start talking about making everyone equal........either the guillotine, or death camps....so no one is more equal than others....since the equality of the grave is final....

Los of libs shop there, I know some. You don't know what you're talking about.

Single handedly? Can you go into more detail?

All other lower end department stores and 5 and 10's were driven out of business

Which stores were "lower end" than WalMart?
Aren't Dollar Stores lower end now?

Mom and pops had no way to combat Walmart pricing

It's terrible when customers freely choose lower prices.
There oughta be a law against all that freedom!

If you want to Praise that, just so you can save a few pennies

Me? Don't you mean the 100 million or so Americans who shop there weekly?

Walmart receives an estimated $6.2 billion annually in mostly federal taxpayer
subsidies
. The reason: Walmart pays its employees so little that many of them rely
on food stamps, health care and other taxpayer-funded programs. [See Table 2 for
state breakdown]

You should mail them a check.

If you read their sign you will see they don't want charity, idiot.

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Wal Mart not only starts at min wage, they will not give you enough hours to live on. It was done to me when I worked for them, even though I signed an anti union statement and was promised 40 hours a week for doing so...Sam Walton lied and we were cut back to 20 hours a week...That was in 1986...they still do it to this day...

Absolutely. If they just go part-time with everyone it relieves them of any responsibility and allows them to abuse the shit out of workers. They target (no pun intended) people who already have few options, that's their hiring model. Then they put the screws to them even more.

 

[Dot Com]

It reminds me of the slave mine workers in the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom movie & the righties gleefully cheer-on the destruction of the living wage.

What you don't understand is that Walmart is yours, too.

Correct. I didn't understand that.

They go part time because liberals have made full time employment more costly. It's cheaper to have two part timers. So in reality, it's the lib that abuses them, although they are largely ignorant of the real world that surrounds them.

Because a donation bin isn't charity. Damn, you're stupid.

 

[depotoo]

So let's see, if they were to close that amount we had to subsidize would at least triple, probaly quadruple. ..
And I call bull on the figures.

 

[OnePercenter]

Liberals can't tolerate rich people unless they're leftists too.

I dislike people that take advantage of their employees and the American taxpayer. A company that CAN do the right thing and still make $14B net profit.

 

[OnePercenter]

Of course you do.
You should pay those WalMart employees a million or two.

WalMart should pay their employees enough so the US taxpayer (you and me) shouldn't have to do their job and responsibility.

How much would they have to pay their employees so they'd get no taxpayer funded benefits?
