As opposed to a person with no job (at Walmart or otherwise) who would then not be on said programs?
That is, you are assuming that if Walmart paid more it would still have just as many employees. This assumption is not obviously true, and is likely false.
- fizzbatter 10y agoI'm assuming exactly what i said. A job at walmart means another person on government aid, which is obviously (mostly) true. By (loose) definition, non-living wage employment results in needing assistance - ie government assistance. Whether you agree with it or not is another story. I'm not saying Walmart shouldn't exist because employees are on government assistance. I'm saying that Walmart is profiting off of this assistance.
