Yeah.... what a shame people want an actual living wage. How dare they?

Today Wal-mart stock was absolutely clobbered as the CEO finally quantified what the $10 wage hike would do to his company and to shareholders. Wal-mart stock holders lost over 20 billion in market cap today which ended up hurting retirees, employees with 401-ks and people investing for their future.
This is just one more step in what is coming in the new gimme gimme economy as the self-described disenfranchised generation takes from those that work hard and save for their own retirement and destroy the existing economy to usher in a new age of Government taking care of us.
This is a sad day for those that have been playing by the existing rules and a win for the do-nothing Communists that are now trying to steal wealth from everyday Americans.

They shouldn't be in business if they can't survive without slaves.
Someone who applies and works there voluntarily is not a slave.
Nah, just a brainwashed idiot.
Can't eat money.
Business will do what it must to survive and make a profit. That is its only reason to exist.

You must mean those damned lazy people who are working two jobs to feed their family!
Those poor wealthy haves might have a bit less!
Tough!
WalMart makes about $20million$ profit every hour!
Tough crackers on the parasites who grow fat on the slave labor of the people!
Screw 'em!

So you want to destroy everything in order to get wages you aren't worth? Nice.

Wal-mart Stock Plummets
Takes from those who work hard? What is there to take when you barley make enough to survive?
This 20 billion dollars wasn't redistributed it just went poof into nothingness. All we are doing is destroying wealth and American companies. The proof is right there in front of you.
You can't pay unskilled people who aren't interested in bettering themselves more than they are worth unless you intend to destroy the economy.
Of course destroying the economy is the goal of these bottom feeders. They can't wait to have a world where every is poor and we rely on Government for our basic needs.
Pathetic.

If they have to rely on slave wages to turn a profit, they aren't worth having. Plus your ridiculous premise that an actual living wage would destroy everything, is as ludicrous as everything else that comes out of your mouth.
