Walmart is quite the force of our economic system. They’re a massive company employing many thousands of people all over the United States. You gotta hand it to them, they did something right! But the Waltons have opted to be misers about their wealth, keeping it all instead of giving it back to the employees. The employees at one store are so poor that they held a canned food drive – for each other! In what world does that make sense?
If Walmart simply paid their employees a living wage, not a get rich wage but a living one, the US taxpayer would save more than $6 billion in welfare dolled out to the employees. I don’t know about you, but it sounds like the right decision to make.
