Walmart has done more to alleviate poverty than any government program. How do you get the left to acknowledge it?

Until they joined the Leftists starting with an assault on the 2nd Amendment...

#5 the democrats are only interested in getting blackmail money.
They throw bricks at everyone hoping someone pays them off like say Microsoft did. See MSnbc as an example.

I once worked at walmart and i have to disagree with them alleviating poverty. Their wages for the average person is 8-10$/hr. Those are poverty wages and if you have a family you still need massive government assistance to meet your needs. And, they are far from being the cheapest store in town even as they treat their customers like cattle. How many times were they sued for violating labor laws?

The only thing that alleviates poverty is when the income is significantly greater than the out-go and you only need one job to do it on.

Today, we call that wealthy but when I was growing up in the 60’s, it was normal...average.

It’s amazing how poverty was redefined by droping the standard of living for the average person.

You can’t even get the left to say, “Those regulations we’ve put on factories and cars has really helped, but we need to do more.” Decades and decades of environmental regulation and I have never once heard anything but doom and gloom, we’re all gonna die, Republicans hate the earth.
