The House Committee on Education and the Workforce released a report stating that the poverty wages and poor benefits at a SINGLE Walmart store might cost taxpayers as much $1,000,000 per year in higher usage of public-assistance programs by Walmart employees and their dependents. Higher wages, better benefits and more full-time jobs at Walmart’s 4,000 stores across the nation would also have a broad-based beneficial economic impact. Better pay would make workers less reliant on public assistance, help to end the PREPOSTEROUS taxpayer subsidy of the world’s largest retailer (owned the country’s richest family), and give a much-needed economic boost to the economy of urban America. Fair wages for hard work. A living wage to live on. Simple.
