Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be. -

I would bet most of the guys on here that are ok with the low paying wages by these mega billionaires would not work for those wages. How about Mud? Would you work for those low paying wages to raise your family on.Comment

Oh, and a recent report came out analyzing Walmart's pay structure. If you start at $8.15 an hour, in 16 years of full performance raises you'll be all the way up to.... $10.65 an hour. Basically they say the reason they don't pay their employees squat is because all the jobs are low/no skill jobs, so there is no reason to pay more.
Frankly, having shopped at Walmart, I begrudgingly agree. Cheap crap, cheap prices, and cheap labor all equals saving money on what you buy, but forget about customer service if anything goes wrong.
Btu what do you expect from full grown adults serving the public for part time High School burger flipper money? Sure, we all love the cheap crap, and I guess it at least provides employment for people who would otherwise compete for jobs frying tater tots at Sonic.Comment

But, in the Walton's defense, they are just taking advantage of the employment laws of our nation and paying as little as they can get away with. Which makes billionaires billionaires and the unskilled workers at Walmart peasants.
And the nation becomes the caretakers of the employees children, and many of the employees, because so many Walmart workers are on food stamps and get state health care because they don't earn enough at their jobs to afford anything else. So we all pay the bills at Walmart, whether we want to or not.Comment

That's the same thing the Forbes thing about "debunking Walmart myths" said. Walmart pays crap, has crap benefits, but that's the industry standard.
My question to you Fred is when is enough enough? When will the Waltons and their shareholders and the wealthy in our nation finally have enough and start raising wages for the people at the bottom? Start providing decent benefit packages?
The bottom line in all this is the reason why Walmart and every other business in America won't pay squat any more is not because they cannot afford to (just look at the record profits of businesses, highest on record since profit records began, the accumulated combined wealth of the riches in our nation) but because there is no requirement for them too.
Every working person that has to get food stamps is another testament to everything wrong in our nation today. Not even a JOB is enough to keep you out of poverty any more. And that is just plain and simple wrong, and it takes away a lot of people's motivation and desire to work.Comment
