Not too long ago thousands of people lined up for McD's job fair's in several states.Just how many openings do you think Costco has? I've already stated their loyalty. They stick with the Co. once they get in.

If those people had a choice do you really think they picked the least paycheck over the higher one? Let's be a little realistic here shall we?If I see a homeless person and a rich man begging on the street which one do you think I should give to? Republicans seem to think the Waltons need a hand out, and they get it...the taxpayer supplements those bogus wages. IP: Logged |

You misinterpret. The wealthy shouldn't need to be forced to help out their struggling staff...nor should they try to compel their already struggling low paid workers to do what they can well afford to do themselves. However you seem to think it's perfectly okay for the average taxpayer to subsidize Walmart wages with foodstamps, housing and ER visits so they can keep the CEO bonuses up in the millions. Something happening here but you don't know what it is...DO you, Mr Jones? IP: Logged |

Even if these socialists could do it, it won't work. It is not a workable system.
It is so frustrating with these people. Didn't anyone read Animal Farm? I read it when I was 12 and figured it out. People who want to be on the continual dole. are destroying our country. However, NOBama is destroying the economy for everyone. That is the goal--All pigs are created equal but some are more equal than others.
The more equal are the ruling class, Cata. Wake up, for goodness sake. I can't believe you and the other stooges, sometimes. PS To the stealth quoter

You complain about people being on foodstamps but you're happy to subsidize those who put them there. Makes tons of sense..not. Ami I don't even know what you think we are talking about. I am not talking about redistributing anything or all people being equal. Scrooge was before socialism ut he was still Scrooge. IP: Logged |

This article is a little conspiratorial in its opinions, but for anyone who has the patience or desire to learn about what Walmart represents, the history of their growth, the dismantling of their "folksy bootstrap success" myth (after all they were just hayseeds, right? Not) and their close ties with Wall Street and some of the dirtiest banks in the world, it's as good a place to start as any. http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3103waltons.html IP: Logged |

If there is a person who literally makes no sense, it is you Cata.Taking money from one group to give to another won't work. Is that simple enough for you? The people who are having their money taken will run out of it. Then, the people who want it will have nothing. The people whose money was taken will have nothing and there will be a ruling class who will have rigged the game and have everything. How can people be so dumb? I don't get it but enough people are dumb enough that we are losing our country. I still think the reason was the stealing of the election with no pic ID because not that many Americans are this dumb. PS

Actually, I charged that because it took men 4-5 entire days to go over every single nook and cranny of the charts, including over 200 asteroids, plus I use my masters degree in Counseling and my intuitive skills. For someone to get all that is rare and the fee is well in line with that many hours etc. However, as I have evolved, I have changed that and will set up a chart to a person's needs for a hundred dollars or whatever degree of work they want. My goal is service to my clients. I want everyone to walk away happy. If not, I will refund their money. For a person to spend 4 days on your chart and in those 4 days do in depth counseling with you is not a rip off for that amount of money. However, my goal is to set up any chart situation that a person wants. My goals are beyond business. I really have a business so I can learn maturity and deal with the kinds of people on here who harass me  ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it.

oh! so you believe someone who works several days deserves to be well paid? right? not just grateful to be kept busy and have enough to eat, but BE WELL PAID, RIGHT? like you when you spend several days on a chart?regarding the comment of randall explaining a cashier cannot expect to earn a six figure wage being a cashier, I would like to point out that, like in LL, it is the numerous posters who contribute to the life of the website here ( and the cashiers in the companies there). the Creator of the website/company should be praised to have allowed that to happen, that's it. the Creator cannot steal (for lack of a better word) the merit of posters who contribute and actually create the community IP: Logged |

This is what I think.One must be practical. We are not in Utopia. We are on the earth. The earth was created as Paradise but man screwed it up, which is a whole other story.
In any event, the earth is how it is. People have to work to make money. There is no system that CAN work for a society when a majority of the people take from the workers. It can't be sustained. That is what people like Cat want. They are saying this under the lines. The same with Node-y and Acoustic. They are saying rich people are mean not to give poor people more. It is not about mean. It is about how the earth is, how people are and what will work. If people like you don't want to face it, I can't help that and blessings to you

As in any country and economic situtation, there are those who see their jobs as valuable and contribute to the system. At the same time these same people judge other jobs and contributions as valueless therefore don`t require standard pay and are deemed useless.. I would like to see these good folks shovel their own manure and see how quick they scream for a standard pay & job recognition. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

Ami, you need to listen a little instead of talking just to make your presence felt. A lot of airhead posts are of no more value than a few well considered ones.Suggesting that Walmart pay its workers a decent wage, or that they stop outsourcing American jobs to sweatshops in Vietnam, is not calling for anyone to "redistribute" from the rich to give to the idle poor. It is asking them to realize that human workers are people too. Walmart is one of the trendsetters in a practice you may not know about, that has been growing basically since Walmart began...refusing to let employees work a full week so benefits are not required, undercutting the local average pay, and selling substandard Chinese (etc) merchandise to enable the addiction to rubbish are the cornerstones of their globalizing blueprint. All I am saying is that while paying a decent wage to their workers might mean the Waltons would sacrifice a billion each it would not put a DENT in their 70billion portfolio, but it would put thanksgiving dinner on the table (some of which would be bought at Walmart and thus repay that investment) and make the workers more likely to give quality service...as Costco hss discovered. This is not "redistribution" but INVESTMENT in the company that has paid off in every company who use it, Ford motors being a well known example IP: Logged |

I don't care if you spend more on dogfood than a Walmart worker earns. If you have it, your choice. But I would care if, for instance, you paid your housekeeper 12ca day and then asked your gardner (who earns a dollar a day) to give her a few peas from his OWN garden to make her Thanksgiving less depressing...and then insist they both work on Thanksgiving while you go get a free feast at Rubio's house.Or hire three people to do one job so you didn't have to pay benefits for one.

As for some being more equal than others, what gives you, say, the right to be more equal than your maid? An accident of birth, nothing more. It is my firm belief that in their lifetimes the current Waltons will see the demise of their Empire, retail, banking and all the rest. Because money not circulated is sucking energy out of the flow. And Scrooge will always either heed the ghosts or be beheaded like Marie Antoinette. IP: Logged |

I would wager that if it weren't for a sizeable Europen branch, and other countries where wages are high by law, and employees health and retirement too,the figures would be more drastically different. IP: Logged |
