That's ok . Given the millions or billions Wal-Mart employee's pay in federal taxes , if they qualify for help , they are getting what they deserve.   Wal-Mart would have to pay every employee at least 30 dollars an hour for them to live a good life.  The choices people make to get a better education or job skills for good jobs determine the quality of life one enjoys.   Do you choose to pay an extra 20 percent or more for things you use in daily life ?  If so , shop at Carr's and Nordstrom  . I'll save my money for more important things like trips to Hawaii by shopping at Wal_Mart .
