No, it's called basic household economics. They're paying 17 bucks an hour because any less and you wouldn't even be able to pay your share of a 6 person apartment. The Wal-Mart employees aren't necessarily netting any more money than those in Topeka.

Oh, and here's one study ranking cost of living by state, ND is lower than many states (including CT, RI, and MA, where Walmart workers earn nowhere near $17/hr). So stop inventing stuff in a desperate attempt to refute the irrefutable. It's pathetic, and it is glaringly obvious.

Do all Wal-Marts in ND pay 17 bucks an hour? Again, you're equating a localized anomaly with an average across a state that has a low population and not a lot of high paying industry.
For a guy who works with numbers you should know this.

Everytihng that makes conservatives look right is an anomoly. Everything that makes liberals look bad is a mis-statement of what really happened, yeah yeah, I get it.
Susan Rice didn't really MEAN that he served with honor and distinction. What she MEANT was that it was honorable to enlist. Michelle Obama didn't really MEAN that she wasn't proud of her country until Barack got the nomination. Hilary didn't MEAN that she got shot at by a sniper (when she stated with great ambiguity, "I got shot at by a sniper", that is subject to many different interpretations, right?).
We get it Spence, we get it.
