The Real Welfare Queens.
According to a study released by Congressional Democrats on Thursday, Walmart’s poverty wages are so measly that many of its workers are forced to rely on food stamps, Medicaid and other government aid programs to survive, which costs the American taxpayer over $900,000 for just one store.
This new report is more proof that the minimum wage should be increased for all Americans, not only because it calculated just how much government aid Walmart workers are forced to rely on, but it also determined the staggering amount American’s are paying in taxes to subsidize Walmart’s profits.
It also comes at a time when many Walmart and fast food chain workers are organizing strikes to protest their employer’s poverty wages.
