Default Re: Thank you, Walmart

[ QUOTE ]
The rest of the article you linked to makes some decent arguments. Why did you quote the one [censored] stupid part?

Obviously, progressives aren't complaining that walmart employees are receiving Medicaid benefits. They're concerned that people who work full time jobs are still poor enough to qualify. Medicaid eligibility is a marker for poverty. They could just as easily point out that 10% of walmart's workers don't even work their way above the poverty line.

Wow, so lets legislate that any corporation that operates in the US must pay its employees at least $45k per year. That will sure wipe out poverty. Of course, then you would have to pay 35 bucks for a pack of toilet paper, or you would have to figure out what to do with the 50% of people who would be unemployed.
