Reply #96: Fine, save your 60 cents.

Just don't whine when your taxes go up 75 cents to pay for the healthcare of the Walmart employee who has no health insurance.

Not to mention the fact that you have now added 15 cents to the cost paying for yet more buracracy to handle the programs that will be paying for that healthcare.

Personaly, I believe in a living wage, and there is NO WAY Walmart pays that. Or the businesses that are forced to compete with them.

You sure sound like you belong more at Free Republic than here.

Are you aware of what % of Walmart employees are on some kind of public assistance?

I am, but I suggest you do the reserach yourself.

Also, are you aware that the State of California is currently sueing Walmart to recover costs of having to support Walmart employees with healthcare and foodstamps.

And it is asserted, with witnesses, that Walmart management is openly ENCOURAGING employees to apply for said aid?

Wake up! You are not saving anything shopping there.
