I ask you the same question:
Why should Walmart or any employer be obligated to pay a 'living wage' to any employee rather than pay what the job is worth to be done in the face of competition for the same skill set?

And further - How do you determine what is a 'living wage' in each of the many varied areas of this Country? perrjojo ducked the question - do you have a naswer? Just askin'.
