Well, quit walmart. Get a job somewhere else. There are jobs out there. Manual labor jobs where someone that is dumb as a brick can make $75k-$100k. But they ain't doing it in 40h. They actually put the time in.

just got back to the percentage they were paying since 1997
You realize that a smaller percentage of $1 million is a lot more than a higher percentage of $50000, correct?
The error of your ways is focusing on a percentage. You should be focusing on the actual amount paid. Secondly, why the frick should I subsidize other people with my hard earned dollars? I don't see them in my office at 6 AM and leaving after dinner time.
They're at Walmart spending government handouts.

When's your next sweat shop opening?
Check this out.
Most of my labor is free!
People willingly volunteer to come bust their arse 25-30 hours a week in exchange for food and a roof over their head. If they're cool folks, I'll give 'em booze or drugs if they're into it. Sometimes I take them to concerts or festivals.
Even with those fringe benefits, it still costs me far, far less than if I had to pay someone probably $12-13 an hour to do what I have them do.

This is even worse. All you did was give me a percentage of what they should be taxes. Minus deductions, write offs and loop holes that only mostly the rich can take advantage of to pay the least. Same as corporations. What you think about these fricks profiting billions and barely paying a dime in taxes? LINK
But i guess thats ok to right

Only a certain number of these jobs again. Not everyone can do so. Somebody has to work in gas stations, grocery stores and so on

The less every single person can pay less in taxes, the happier I am.
I like paying the government about as much as I do the mafia and highwaymen.

Some companies actually pay more than minimum wage for the same job walmart pays less for. Because they actually care about their employees and families. Just not greedy profit
With this mindset you must be either some type of government employee in social services, or a college professor.

That's such a bullshite answer. All I keep hearing is that companies keep people down. There are jobs out there. If you show me that every job is gone, I'll show you higher pay rates at wal Mart.

I guarantee you that the quality of employee at Costco is superior to Wal-Mart.

Do you honestly think this Coon? As i said somebody has to work in gas stations, grocery stores, retail stores. Without these employees the world wouldnt go round

Yes, someone has to work there (for now).
However, it takes no specialized skills whatsoever to do so. They aren't worth much, in terms of contribution to the market.

I have a cousin who started at Walmart out of high school in electronics. He's not a dumbass and he works hard so by 30 he was a general manager making 6 figures.
These people you are defending make minimum wage cause that's what they're worth.

I honestly agree with him..it's really none of your damn business what Jim Smith agrees to with wal-mart or anyone else....he took the job because that's all he can get...his skills are worthless, he's a leech on society and is damn lucky he's getting anything and it's certainly not my job to work harder to earn enough to pay him more money..
I ask again...are you mailing off MOST of your income ( though I have doubts you have ANY ) so poor kids in Africa?
