Sometimes I read things on this site that makes me question my faith in the educational system in this country, and even my faith in humanity...
$13 per week wouldn't make a big difference so they don't get it? That would be a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a gallon of gas. But to hell with them you say! They are poor anyway!

FAIL.. the argument is that the taxpayers shouldnt be subsidizing the wages being so low, so there isnt a need to pay them more.

Please stay out of the adult conversations if you cnt understand them.

I dont think thats fair either. Wal Mart has a need for employees, so if welfare would be abolished, then Wal Mart would have to pay them more becuase their value would demand it.

But liberals whine and cry that the govenrment should be subsidizing these people, and then whine when they realize the outcome of their policies.

There isnt a dam ideology that Democrats dont support, that then they dont whine about the outcome.. Its like they dont have the ability to think 5 years down the road.

???? Exactly! If those people can't survive on those low wages, they should just quit and get welfare so they can make more. Does that work for ya?

That is a part of the disease also. Something we refuse to address.

Walmart would not be as "successful" as it is, if it weren't for Chinese Communism.
Most of the China Mart Crap they sell come off the backs of poor labors that have had their land stripped from them by the Chinese State and Local Governments and forced to move to the cities to work.

Beatings, evictions reveal ugly side of China's local debt pile

Land seizures rank as among the biggest causes of social tension in China, spotlighting an ugly side of the urbanization drive that has raised it to the world's second-biggest economy.

Land disputes are one of the main causes of the tens of thousands of protests across China each year. Most go unreported, although some, like a revolt in the southern village of Wukan in 2011, have attracted a high profile and prompted promises of action by Beijing.

China's land grabs: A case study
About 80,000 to 100,000 protests, what Beijing call "mass incidents," occur every year, many of them concerning the confiscation of farmland for commercial purposes as the economy continues to grow.
Forcing them to relocate to the cities where they can churn out products for the vultures in China, Walmart and on Wall Street.

Not to mention I want even start with the exportation of the pollution and destruction of the land to make the vultures richer at others expense.


Walmart has all the thanks to give to the Commies in China, where China still owns the majority of business there.


Lots of Commie Supporters here to.

If someone can't earn enough to support them self working an honest 40 hours a week, something is wrong with our economy!

Your argument and a argument about minimum wage are two different things.
