"Accurate and timely data on Wal-Mart’s wage and employment practices is not always readily available. However, occasional releases of demographic data from public assistance programs can provide useful windows into the scope of taxpayer subsidization of Wal-Mart. After analyzing data released by Wisconsin’s Medicaid program, the Democratic staff of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce estimates that a single 300- person Wal-Mart Supercenter store in Wisconsin likely costs taxpayers at least $904,542 per year and could cost taxpayers up to $1,744,590 per year – about $5,815 per employee."
what if walmart just shuts down all of their stores? then what, CA will have an even worse unemployment rate. Walmart should do just that, then all the shoppers can shop at more expensive stores. What a great plan.
How does Wal Mart FORCE the taxpayers to subsidize the employees? I didnt realize Wal Mart was more powerful than the California legislatures who establish the rules.
If the California gubbement is so concerned about poor folk, why dont they lessen tax burdens and regs?
I wouldnt say Wal Marts issue is taxes, I'd say that the government has created a system which encourages Wal Mart to pay less. That isnt Wal Marts fault, thats governments.
I guess it's the type of people that shop at Walmart around here. They rip apart packaging and leave stuff on the floor constantly, even new these stores started having problems with the floors being gunky. It's like they don't wash them, they just use water on a mop and spread it around a little. The grocery section is so big, why is it all junk food and the fruit and veg section look less than fresh. There are cart tracks and footprints on the clothes where they were on the floor and hung back up. You can never find an employee and you typically need their help because the store is one big disaster zone.
I'd rather pay more money to go to a decent store.
