Walmart Workers Cost Taxpayers $6.2 Billion In Public Assistance

Excessive number of government employees cost taxpayer 200 billion dollars a year.

 

I would appreciate it if you would sicken yourself by listening to the disgusting little puke and provide an analysis of his double talk in the video at the link. Here, this post. It has the times he speaks inconsistently about legislators numbers involved with amendment (so you do not have to get any more disgusted than is necessary).

Oh the mindless hysteria.

I remember when malls first opened. People were clucking about how the ma and pa's were going to be hurt. Would you like to go back to the horse and buggy also?

 

I see you didn't read my post. Now when you have something of substance to say, get back to me.

 

I offered my POV. Did I hurt your feelings?

 

These are Walmart's own hires saying this, not me.

 

LOL! Then they can get the hell out of there and work elsewhere.

 

Walmart hired them to take a look at their bad image and tell them the truth. They is exactly what they did. You people don't read. I don't get it.

 

Oh I read it. So I'll go back to my previous point about malls and buggy whips. And their 'bad image' is born of libruls who hate a highly successful company that refuses to unionize. Trust me, *******s would kiss WM's arse if they organized.

 

I am almost 100% sure that you have never owned a business.

 

Then you would be wrong. Owned one between 1989 and 2001 on Oak Park Illinois at Oak Park Ave and Lake Street. Bought the building we were in and sold it for 20% profit. Our family owned three businesses when I was growing up in Cicero Illinois. Now would you like to respond to what I actually posted?

 

"If we work together," he said, "we'll lower the cost of living for everyone...we'll give the world an opportunity to see what it's like to save and have a better life." (Sam Walton).

Unfortunately, after his death, they (his successors) quickly jumped into bed with the Chinese and left their associates (employees) to rot on the vine. Walmart's fortune was create by Sam Walton by buying American and treating employees with dignitary and respect. Remember, "Everything made in USA" was all Walmart carried. It is a sick joke what happened.

 

Right because you don't need government assistance if you are a full-time employee of Walmart. lol How clueless are you?

 

If you are a full time employee at walmart, the average associate makes $8.81 an hour. We'll cut that back some to $8.00 per hour. $8.00 times 40 hours = $16,640 per year or $1,386 per month. If you want food stamps you have to have less than $1,265 a month in North Carolina as a single person.

So no. You would NOT qualify for benefits if you had a full time job at walmart. Further, if you WEREN'T making enough to satisfy yourself, then get off of your lazy ass and go get a second part-time job or take your off-time (because you're only working 40 hours a week, that's PLENTY of time to go to school or get a certification) and make yourself more hirable at a better company.

 

If you're talking specifically about food stamps for a single adult, then you may be right, but many people do not live alone, and besides, even a single person working full time at Walmart will still qualify for Medicaid.

 

Actually I believe it's controlled opposition. Democrats love low paying corporations like Walmart. They pretend to hate these evil corporations. They claim the Republicans won't let them increase wages. Their regulations stifle small businesses which inhibits alternate income for workers. Then they play hero by giving these workers government aid, which guarantees Democrat votes. It's a scam.

 

Wrong... again. Medicaid kicks in if you make LESS than 133% of the Federal poverty line. http://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid-ch...wnloads/2014-federal-poverty-level-charts.pdf

133% is $15,521 per year. So if you're making $8.00 an hour you're not eligible for Medicaid.

And if you're not a single person then you better expect that your significant other is going to have a full-time job. And if it's you and children then you shouldn't have gone out there and had a bunch of children that you couldn't be SURE that you could care for. If you (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up and made those mistakes then it's YOUR responsibility to go out and get a 2nd or a 3rd job to provide and make up for the mistakes you made... it's not the responsibility of society or your employer to make up for your mistakes.

 

In your opinion of course.

 

One thing this study ignores is that most walk mart workers do not recieve welfare and those employees who do receive it are almost all part time workers who were already receiving welfare before being hired by way mart.

The regressives on the left wing wish to make this an example of corporate greed when in fact it is an examp!e of why they are regressiveas opposed to progressive.

Welfare pre dated walk marts rise to success and regressive policies on the left wing ledmto this massive tax subsidy for ghetto welfare queens. Such a term is accurate and not racist.

But of course they spin and blame corporations for the failure of such policies

 

Yeah, they were so profitable, you had to sell em. Your family owned three business. A trust fund baby.

 

We sold the whole building. Business was in it. Real estate did great then. Don't be jealous.

??? What trust fund? The whole family worked the businesses and we eventually sold them also. Why does success bother you?
