I'm talking about walmart keeping so much money their employees need to hit the government up for things like health care.
Fact is, if walmart paid their employees just a bit more, and we're not talking a ton more, prices wouldn't be changed. Sure, maybe the CEO would have to take a paycut from 23mil a year to 21mil a year. Or maybe if the store manager's yearly bonus dropped from 130K to 120K they could cut it.
Bottom line... I have no problems with the stores earning money. I have problems with my tax dollars making up for their cheapness. Period.
You are plainly contradicting yourself. In your first post, you put no conditions on your support for Costco as along as they offer 'good merchandise at decent prices.' In your subsequent posts, however, you say that you are not going to patronize Walmart because it gets subsidies that cost taxpayers and, following up on that, because it doesn't pay its employees enough so the public has to pickup the healthcare costs these employees incur (which is a dubious position at best).
I don't know how to explain your obviously contradictory positions with regard to Walmart and Costco except to assume that you have an agenda against Walmart that does not apply to Costco. Maybe you can explan what the agenda is and why it applies to Walmart and not to Costco?
as a physician in south georgia who sees those who work at wally world you are correct
