The average employee is considered 'part-time' at that company and even when they ARE full time and offered benefits packages, the cost is overwhelming to say a single mother of two working full time at walmart. The company forces millions of its loyal employees to not only put themselves on government assistance - thereby forcing the American people to support their employees, but has created an atmosphere of pseudo-communism by artificially driving down the CPI - and taking back virtually all of their employees "disposable income" (like there really IS such a thing these days for the average American) through employee spending in the store.<BR/>Basically - "We're not going to pay you enough to shop at our competitors, or purchase company sponsored health care. So go on Medicaid and Food Stamps, and remember how inexpensive everything is here and bring that paycheck right back to us so we can rule the world."<BR/>Ugh.<BR/>I hate Wal-Mart.<BR/>Sorry for the rant, but that company makes my skin crawl. Probably more than the President.Tedwww.myspace.com/t2xguynoreply@blogger.com
