Who says people who work at WalMart do not work hard?
You want them to work hard at WalMart, make very little money, AND suffer the indignity of being on government assistance?
Nice.
I was speaking in general terms. Yes I realize they work hard but minimum wage shouldn't be a lifestyle in Raleigh or anywhere else. I want them to move up and away from minimum wage so they don't have to be on assistance. The dance group at Brier creek wants to magically raise wages to $13 and hour with no analysis of what impact that would have locally or nationally.
The global economy and the US economy are both much larger than the corporation.
If the corporation can easily absorb, than the global economy and the US economy wouldn't feel it either way.
I didn't forget anything.
I mentioned earlier that some quantification of proposals and effects might make for an interesting conversation, and I think that point is borne out by exceptional vagueness in the thread.
I don't mind my tax dollars benefitting society, and don't think that providing support to low wage earners does not benefit society.
I don't mind my tax dollars going to low wage workers, either.
I do mind them going there if there's another way to avoid having these people on public assistance, which is highly demotivational and often demoralizing. How can we expect those people to "pick themselves up by their bootstraps" if they already feel like they're trapped at the bottom of the barrel and embarrassed to buy food with their EBT cards?

I agree with your point, but it is clear that the conversation local relevance is very limited, and ergo quite tenuous. The issue of low wages at WMT and their business practices is hardly local to begin with. This is a national or global P&OC topic.
LOL
"Ask and thou shalt receive."
And we find ourselves magically transported to CD's version of Mos Eisley, P&OC, well known as a "wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Well, it started local... and it has gotten less and less local.

Why do conservatives always seem to think that they really are entirely SELF MADE MEN?
Because their development was arrested at age 10. Only a child believes he built something "all by himself." They are legion here, given what has happened in the past when someone has pointed this out to them.
"to reinstate employees who had been unfairly fired for daring to try to organize. Purely an opinion.
I don't think it was unfair at all.
