[QUOTE="BMWSauber1991, post: 1193349, member: 47373"] I don't shop at WalScam because the only way they are able to get such low prices is by not supporting unionization (or a decent wage for that matter), not allowing overtime (probably more pt workers than ft workers anyway), and most of their products are made offshore at some sweat shop. Less operational expenses equals lower prices for store products, which creates more consumer demand, which puts more money in upper management/executives wallets/purses at WalScam. Walscam has a nice set up if you think about it. They pay their employees crap wages and in turn these employees need government assistance. Who pays for this? Us, of course. Then all the government assistance money returns to WalScam when the people need to buy crap, food, etc. So Walscam makes money not only off the wages earned by their workers but also the government because the workers spend their assistance money at Walscam. THINK ABOUT IT! It's a giant circle for Walscam. Walscam gets money from the people and the government. They are double screwing us and most politicians can't even realize this and I can guarantee Walscam has realized this and knows that this is happening. As for fast-food increased wage demand, I am all for it. Mitt Romney has once complained about all the government hand outs, but what he fails to realize is that most Americans live on such a low wage because of cooperate american practices (minimal wages) that they end up needing government help to even survive. Might I add that most corporations realize this circle and utilize it to make even more money from the workers of America. It's sad, for them, and us. :angry: It makes me :sick: [/QUOTE]
