[quote='Gish' pid='579265' dateline='1389250844']Are you daft? Nothing helps poor people like employers making more and more money. Why, the best thing that ever happened to a WalMart employee was the Waltons making 30k times what they do while they rely on a second slave-wage job and government assistance to survive.

What good is the purchasing power of money you don't have?

I think we need a revival of unions in these cases, rather than government benefits. Why take taxpayers money to close pay the gaps left by corporate employers? They're the employers and they're the ones who who should be paying living wages from their profits,notd the government.
