But the poster seemed to think part of the problem was "Wages are not keeping pace with the minimal inflation we have"
WalMart being the huge employer that it is, I wonder if they're not more a creator than victim of the problem? I don't believe they exactly take the Henry Ford attitude towards wages.
Yes, sorry, but I couldn't stop from noting what I did.
I see it as a bit of a chicken and egg argument. Is the problem wages or inflation? If Store A is paying $1 for something and sells it for $1.25 and sells 100,000 of them are they really doing better when they show an increase in revenue by selling the same 100,000 of those items at $1.35 but is paying $1.10 for them?
Yes, that is a very simplistic argument but it is what is happening in many cases. A business is taking in more but they are also paying more.
The problem is programs like QE, not with Wal-Mart not paying a little more.
To support American jobs instead of jobs in China.
Any place you shop is supporting American jobs since the cashiers and stock people are living here.
Is Walmart more American than your regional supermarket ?
In my area the regional supermarket pays better than Wallymart with better benefits and less crap from China.
They get my business.
I'm just your average teabagging, 2A loving looney conservatard (according to you and yours).
Do you consider those that call us those names to be adults? How about the person who's response is above
yours. Do you think it was an adult that did that?
You are ruining your own thread! Other posters are attempting to discuss the issue - despite your ridiculous thread title and you keep bursting in with this crap.

Around here Walmarts don't even cell groceries. It makes it real simple to shop at Whole Foods.

Stopping right here.

I wish it was this simple. We sold our product around the world as the innovator of that product for years. China can now make it cheaper and the rest of the world isn't interested in our best interests.
It's too expensive to sell only in the U.S. with the number employed in the past.

I am just responding to your ******* friends. Tell them to stop and so will I.
Make it so.
BTW, most of you have missed the point which is that raising taxes doesn't stimulate
the economy.
