All of this could be solved if we eliminated those federal assistance program.

Voila. Problem vanishes.

You're only partly right. In order for there to be support for ending such programs, work has to pay enough for the workers to subsist on their own.

"Because of Wal-Mart's inadequate wages and benefits, Wal-Mart employees are eligible for $2.5 billion in Federal assistance, which comes from your tax dollars."

All of this could be solved if we eliminated those federal assistance program. Voila. Problem vanishes.

Please elaborate. It is very interesting.

You mean the unconstitutional giveaways? I agree. Get rid of them and the people working for minimum wage will either leave Wal-Mart for a better job or be happy getting paid squat.

BINGO! I used this exact argument this week with someone.

Besides I've been in WalMart several times and have never been exploited yet.
