AOC? ............ Don't knock her. Trump may well be able to use her if the senate offers up a complete revamp of border security, which includes a deal for DACA, a pathway for citizenship and a barrier so that those expelled don't get right back in. That's the approach that makes sense and AOC doesn't seem to march to Nancy's beat.
Sometimes we forget that Nancy only has one vote.

Either way, I as a woman, think the worst thing the civilized world has done was allow women the right to vote and to take up political possessions. No doubt, there are great women out there, but more or less, they are outnumbered by the emotional ding bats that sleep their way to the top instead of actually earning their way to the top.

The only way that what you are saying makes any sense is if people somehow have a right to full time employment that pays enough that they don’t qualify for any government assistance. People have no such right, except in your fantasy land.

If these marginal employees were unemployed instead of being employed by Walmart, would they receive more or less government assistance?

Given that the correct answer to the previous question is undeniable, what precisely is the “tab” that taxpayers are picking up, that is being caused by Walmart?

The tab was $6.2 billion a year in welfare according to Forbes in 2014.

Your question is irrelevant deflection, as previously stated. A red-herring, so to speak.

Wal-Mart frequently ensures employees are brought on at exactly under full-time to reduce the benefits owed to employees, and taxpayers are footing the bill.

Clearly an impossible feat!
Did you miss the part about free????? It is not free in Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan! NOTHING is free! Having spent considerable time in Canada and Europe I can tell you that it is no panacea of healthcare!

What is the conservative obsession with this woman? What other freshman representatives are triggering this kind of constant chatter over nothing?

She's still smarter than the current occupant of the White House.

Five pages later, and you still haven't figured it out? Try Googling "economics 101".

No deflection, no red herring.

How, specifically, does Walmart cause people to use government assistance?

If someone that is unemployed is receiving $X in government benefits, and then goes to work at Walmart and as result, receives less than $X in government benefits, what “Tab” is being paid by the taxpayers that is caused by Walmart? This is an easy question. Why don’t you try answering it, instead of steadfastly refusing to do so?

Why don’t you try answering the questions that I posed previously? It should be easy for you. . .

Or perhaps you could explain how Economics 101 supports your ridiculously incorrect position.

It’s entirely irrelevant. These people aren’t unemployed. One could easily ask how much they’d be receiving in government benefits had their employers paid them enough to support themselves, sans welfare. I’m guessing my number turns out lower than yours.


Why do you support corporate welfare?

If you as a single person can't survive on Walmart's $11 wage for full time work, something's wrong with you.

If you are part time employee at Walmart, making $11/hr as a greeter or a bag checker, I got a newsflash for you; people aren't supposed to be able to support themselves on a part time job bagging groceries. Never have, never will. Sadly, Walmart and every other chain have made most workers part time because of radical leftwing labor laws that discourage full-time hiring. If the leftwing stayed the hell out of business, people could work 40 hours a week and more.
