The flaw in your argument is that you think that if WM raised prices, the difference would be made up for by a reduction in profits. That difference would be made for by an increase in prices. So your idea would mean that all the grandmas and grandpas living on a fixed income and who depend on WM's low prices would see their grocery bill go up and they would have to start choosing between eating lunch or eating dinner each day. So why do you hate grandmas and grandpas on fixed incomes?? Why are you trying to take food out of their mouths so that a handful of 2nd rate employees can buy an extra case of beer each month?? Keep in mind that my wife works at WM and she busts her ass every day, while watching the eternal revolving door of culls come and go. What you propose simply means that more culls get ran through the WM mill and the cost gets passed on to those who can least afford it.

Well what I was reading was filled with really small words and lots of pictures, so I did jump to the conclusion that it was yours... My apologies if I was wrong. Now then, if WM raised it wages, where do you expect that additional cost to be absorbed??

Are you Wal-Mart stock holder?

If so I can understand........... you are jest interested in yourself and how much it may effect you and your money............


Or possibly you MIGHT BE A CONCERNED US citizen who pays taxes..........

And if Wal-Mart pay a living wage thousands of their employees will come off the dole.............. and save us all from having to pay billions of dollars in unnecessary taxes........

Vulnerable members in society?

When the hell gig you become a "Bleeding Heart" liberal....concern for the "vulnerable"? You mean those "lazy goodfornoyhings" who don't work living off of welfare and buying their beer with Food Stamps............Is that who you're talking about ,Bunkie?

And us poor former middle class folks now shopping in "one low price every day" may have to one cent more for 2-3 items they sell in all their stores...............

Of course you know they are the richest family in the world and have more store in the world then God had Israelites lost in the desert.............may take them 2=3 months to cover the costs of the additional expense on labor.......

And if Wal-Mart left the price increase in place for the ret of the year...........they could give their workers a Christmas Bonus.............And I am sure some may buy a house in Florida with it.....

We have a wonderful 2 bedroom for sale right 'around the corner from me...........

That's what you get when set the bar for welfare so low... It's what you get when you build a system that should be helping through a rough patch and instead turn it into a lifestyle... It's what you get when you take the approach that everyone should have guaranteed success in life... What you are seeing is the epitome of the Law of Unintended Consequences that liberals just can't seem to get a handle on... Forcing WM to raise it wages does NOTHING to fix this, all it does is shuffle the problem around and now instead of just WM employees getting assistance, you now have a whole bunch more people getting it, since the increased cost of living has driven the gov't to decide that we need to lower the standards for assistance even more.

One of things that I have gift for is teaching, and one of basics of teaching is that it is the teacher's responsibility to make clear what they are teaching. So please,don't ever teach....

Learning is a two way process................If a teacher cannot impart the required materials to a student so they can understand and use................Often is not a reflection of a teacher's competence.........
