My point is that there is not much insentive to pay your employees a living wage. I once read that some Walmart employees would have to work 150 hours a week to afford a 2 bedroom apartment and groceries. As a result they have to go on food stamps that we all pay for. And all the while the Walton family is one of the wealthiest families in the country.
