Pffft. It’s duffer you’re dealing with here. All them lefty pinko faggot organizations are all the same - you really expect him to be able to keep track of all of them?
Hey duffer, let me pre-write your next 100 posts for you.
*10 FOR I = 1 to 100
20 PRINT “GWB is god. Lefties all suck. If you’re not a Republican you’re a terrorist and probably a faggot, too. The Bill of Rights really has too much in it…let’s get rid of some. I know this one person who got a discount from a convicted pedophile, so they’re not all bad.”

There you go, big guy. Feel free to take the next week off. Maybe you can go shoot some hippies or something.
If they paid $10/hr then there’d be no problem. But they do not, they pay around $7.50, which is a huge difference for low wage workers. The difference is $400 a month in pre-tax income.
As I have said in other threads, I worked for a gas station that payed $5.45 for dangerous work (working in a gas station at night is dangerous), and I got no benefits whatsoever. The fact that walmart pays $2/hr more and offers 401k and health insurance would’ve been a step up. It doesn’t change the tactics walmart uses to strongarm suppliers or their unethical anti-union tactics but they are not the worst company when it comes to wages & benefits for their low wage workers. On that front they are probably no worse than most of the companies that employ the other 50 million low wage workers in america.
LMAO. If we moved all the poor people, bill gates, donald trump, ted turner, the waltons and a few other people to rhode island, seceeded rhode island and calculated average income we could cure poverty.
He’s telling you that your post was worthless and did nothing but add an extra post to your count. I know it’s the pit, but this has been an interesting debate with cites and good arguments on both sides, even if some of the good arguments included name calling. Your’s was just name calling without anything else. Worthless.

$9.15: Hourly wage that Dana Mailloux was earning at a Ft. Myers, Florida Wal-Mart when she and more than a dozen similarly paid employees were laid off because of “lack of work”, after which, as they were leaving the store, they noticed “six new hires – red vests in hand – filling out paperwork,” and then that next weekend saw Help Wanted ads on the store’s bulletin board
$8.00: Approximate nationwide average hourly wage for Wal-Mart employees
I give up, are they like overused cliches that fail miserably to make a point?
Are you also saying that my opinion about namecalling in a debate is one not widely held? You honestly think that you’ll help the side you’re arguing for by using insults without actually posting anything of substance?
Back to contributing, what you mentioned earlier about fear of a libel lawsuit, is this something you know for a fact, or was this just some wild assumption based on nothing?
So let’s see, Frontline, a respected public broadcasting news organization, says they pay $10/hr, but your cite, from the Democratic Socialists of America [cough], claims they pay only $7.50. I’ll take my chances with the PBS cite being closer to the truth, if it’s all the same to you.
