I’m looking at it from the perspective of a businessman. Free markets should dictate prices and free markets and individual performance should dictate wages.
Are you actually promoting classism in the US? It is about time it is done away with.
Walmart made 405 billion dollars last year, trust me, they can afford to pay employees.
Instead they pay employees sub par wages, no benefits, and force the states to pick up the benefits so YOU are paying for people on welfare to keep their jobs.
Then in order to make more money, they force their manufacturers jobs overseas, since they come in and take over a community and make themselves sole provider, they force the manufacturers to charge less and less, than tthe manufacturers ever wanted to lower it. So they have no choice but to send their manufacturing to ASIA, who gets the jobs.
All while racking in 400 billion pure profit.
How about Americans pay a little more, instead of expecting coffee makers for 10 bucks made from god knows what and lead painted toys, we do with less walmarts, and mom and pop can come back and make a decent living.

Sad day when an ATSer uses walmart as a defense.

I refuse to shop at Walmart until they start giving their employees on the floor the same benefits the suits in the offices receive.

That they use walmart as an anti-Obama campaign.
That's why WalMart is failing. They sell product that poor people can't afford to buy, because it is too cheap to live on.

I know many others that have quit going there because of their policies. From the standpoint of the consumer, they are practicing free market economics by saying no Thanks Walmart.

No one should defend the rights of shareholders to make millions over the rights of American's to a decent wage.
Also, people should stop to consider what other outside influences are affecting walrmart rather than their very public statement.

It’s none of your business what Wal-Mart chooses to pay its employees. If you don’t like it, don’t work there.

People have voted with their pocket books! Wal-Mart is winning!!
People disagree with you!
What has changed in the past four weeks??

Did Wal Mart credit Obama in their press releases during those quarters?
The rates have now gone back to what they were in 2008. It's an increase, technically speaking,
but people are smart enough to understand what happened.
