Why are do many who work for businesses like this have to go on welfare in order to survive?
Does anyone know how much Walmart coming to town costs the taxpayers, in eventual welfare cases alone?
Why are they in trouble all the time with bad business practices? Work their slaves off the clock, work their slaves without health insurance or vacation pay?
Promoting government wealfare?

'Slave labor'?
Spare us the overdramatization, please! If you had a valid point, you wouldn't need to distort the truth as much as you do.
In a mature and intellectual position, the facts speak for themselves without needing to be 'punched up' with over-the-top rhetoric.
I'm sure you have a bunch of facts to support your position, no?

please don't forget Walgreens in your list. I refuse to shop at any of them.Whenever a Wal-Mart comes to town they run almost all smaller businesses into the ground therefore in most cases becoming the major employer in an area. This disrupts the competition for jobs. The only way we can stop this destruction of this assault on a better life is simply boycott them. Many people do not care about it until it affects them so it will be difficult to do. This business practice is now a model of business courses across the country and it will definitely influence the standard of living for generations

People get paid what they are worth.
And you assume that the employees would somehow be worth more and make better choices with their money if they worked for someone other than Wal-Mart.
These people have chosen that life by not getting an education and by living to or above their means.

maybe they should get and education, work hard, study more, do well with their lives, so they dont get stuck in mcdonalds
its not slave labor if they are getting paid to do it, you should focus on china, which does do slave labor, only their slaves are missing kidneys.
if we were not flooded with so much cheap illegal labor from mexico, then maybe wages would be more than it is now.
calling these paid workers, "slaves" belittles the real slaves in the world, whether in china, the arab world, or the 1800's america. you should educate yourself more, so you will not get stuck in mcdonalds

Their employees choose to work there. They might not be treated as well as they could be, but they can leave whenever they want.

You'd have more money if you didn't have to pay union dues.
