Yup, why should me and my neighbors have to pay for people to keep a roof over their family and food on their table when the two adults are both working 40 hours and need food stamps and other support to survive. So business can make more money, why is it my responsibility to have to pay for their golden profits.$15 an hour is a start but it always has to be enough to feed a family no matter what the wage level is. Who in the hell saves money at wall-mart if they have to pay for one of their workers to survive. That what the right want for this country , it's just another way to hand everything they can to the wealthy and big B. It's some more of that trickle down nonsense.
There is one thing this country is missing and that is simple logic.

Then stop shopping at Walmart.
One thing missing in this country is simple logic? And, one thing not missing is the shit that fills the skulls of libs. Why, WTF, are adults working no-skill jobs at Walmart? Besides, Walmart pays $11+ an hour, and that is enough to live on... even if it's less than the welfare queens are use to having.
I would much rather help a working American than pay the medical, housing and feeding costs of illegals who are sneaking across our borders.
But the problem runs much deeper than that. Technological and automation advancements have taken many good paying jobs that, at one time,
would sustain a family. As they decrease, that adds older workers with families to resort to working at Walmart. That, and since our younger
generation thinks they're above the entry level jobs we older people took when we were young, who's left?

We had a really good thread on this a couple of years ago, I forgot the name, but it detailed the new hire orientation process for WalMart and McDonalds and how they give detailed instructions to their new hires on how to apply for government assistance.
There's an easy, LOGICAL solution. Stop all social welfare and let those that claim they care for those unwilling to provide for themselves voluntarily provide for them to the level of their claim.
They pay 9 dollars to start with and never seem to be able to complete the things needed to get a raise. This isn't about Wall mart to start with , it was used as a example . This is about sub livable wages that makes the government with our tax dollar pay for what corporation should be paying. Why the fuck should I have to.

It is the conservative and neoliberal way to extract, concentrate and redistribute societal wealth to the Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class.
Good grief from the party that let Immigrants stay here twice. . No democratic president ever did.
Prices go up to compensate for a workable wage. At the same rate is the tax dollars going down spent to support them and their family.
