Walmart reported over $17 billion in profits in 2012. That would amount to around $8,500 per worker, and it was profit that exists only because of the efforts of these workers. High-paid executives can't do everything. A huge chunk of that reported profit belonged to the workers, but they were only given little more than the bare minimum the company could get away with.
The company can absolutely afford to pay workers a living wage. They don't want to.
