Wal-Mart actally pays it's employees (with actual skills) quite well. I'm sorry, but many of the jobs at wal-mart could be performed by a monkey.

Any adult with no skills and having wal-mart be their best option needs to stop blaming wal-mart and start thinking of the serious life choices they screwed up on to get in that spot.

Walmart is the only business whose main mission is to make a substantial profit?

The living wage folks are upset that they will be paying for this increase in wages.
Not like some of us didn't warn you.

IMO Walmart represents the epitome of the American success story.
Rise from a small Mom and and Pop operation to an empire with 11,500 locations employing some 2.2 million people.
With out the greed aspect as part of the equation Walmart would not have grown to what it is today..

And offer a reasonably good value to customers to boot.
