You do realize that they are the largest employer in America, right?
This "genius" knows the government is the largest employer in the US.
This "genius" who has faced off with WAL*MART lawyers also realizes everything from their abuse of the legal system to get zoning changes to dumping millions into the political system to bribe politicians into enacting anti-worker labor laws, WAL*MART might be considered domestic terrorists given the damage they have done to America. You dont need a cheap playstation or another #3 commemorative T-shirt that badly . . . Really.

John Q Public flocks to Walmart and they line up by the thousands to apply for job openings.
It's not just the government that has allowed Walmart to get to where they are today.
All the government pandering to Walmart would mean nothing if no one shopped there.
But that's not the case, is it ?
The lower end of society does their shopping at Walmart.
Walmart is one of the biggest processors of EBT money.
That FICA tax of 2% on low wage workers ..not significant.
A worker making $25K per year has $9 less per week now.
Those on TANF have not lost any money.
The cost of goods has gone up and if you are on a tight budget then discretionary spending (like at Walmart) slows down. Doesn't take rocket science to figure that one out.
They blew all their money and went hog wild at Christmas with those great deals at Walmart and are tapped out now.
Low income folks can't pay off that Christmas orgy shopping with their Jan payment.
It is being blamed in large part because of the return to the higher tax rates. The ever increasing energy costs will further drag the economy down.
Yes. When those cuts were put in place, the assumption was that wages would be up by the time the tax holiday was over. That didn't happen. So instead of the return to higher tax rates simply eating up some of the raises people got this year, it ate up core income people needed because there were no raises. Wages are not keeping pace with the minimal inflation we have. The return to higher tax rates on top of that is hurting the economy. In a better economy, we would not have blinked when the tax holiday was over. It was a bad move in this one.
