If Americans Are Stupid Enough To Fall For This - They Deserve Whatever They Get.

[Heywood]

So lets get rid of the government program and then Walmart will be forced to pay a living wage.

Your way or my way would create the same outcome for Wal-Mart, et al, I agree.

Your way would result in starvation, crime and suffering. Mine would not.

Let's go with my way, what do you say?

My way would be to get rid of the minimum wage and all welfare programs....including social security and unemployment. To keep people from starving just give them money in the form of a negative income tax and let them be free to spend it as they wish.

Why should a person on food stamps be told they have to use those funds to buy food when they might be better served by buying diapers? Poor people deserve the same dignity and freedom everyone else has and that includes the ability to make their own purchasing decisions in accordance with their needs and wants. In addition we don't need to waste tax payer money paying for an army of bureaucrats to enforce spending habits on poor people.
