[I hope that we are staying within the political boundaries of Saabnet here....]
I agree that Walmart workers should not make $35 per hour, but I feel they should be able to make a living wage while working full time at one of the most profitable retailers in the world.
From the Forbes (which is quite far from a left-wing news source) article at the link:
"Walmart’s low-wage workers cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion in public assistance including food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing, according to a report published to coincide with Tax Day, April 15."
“It found that a single Walmart Supercenter cost taxpayers between $904,542 and $1.75 million per year, or between $3,015 and $5,815 on average for each of 300 workers.”
