I can't believe it. We agree on something.

They are on assistance because Walmart does not pay enough. Walmart calls a 28 hr work week full time. Walmart buys clothes from sweat shops directly. Once they investigate and find out it's a sweat shop using children they buy from another vendor. That vendor has the contract and sub-contracts to a sweatshop vendor all in the name of capitalism.
Attention Walmart shoppers while you are saving money you are also spending a lot of tax money and encouraging manufacturers overseas to hire children and the desperate for work people. When you get a contract with Walmart you have to guarantee the next contract will be even lower.

We're lucky we have a first amendment. I think we are heading in a very bad direction too. When enough Americans are starving I'm hoping Walmart doesn't say "We just rolled back prices on pound cake so Let them eat Sara Lee."
