that Walmart employees have qualified for food stamps.

I have a relative working at Wal Mart. Yes they pay taxes. Many work 2 jobs. They can't make it on just Wal Mart. If they are married they are little luckier. Many can't afford their healthcare. Yes some vote republican but many vote dems.

a lack of unions, then they get people to judge those who cannot afford to pay taxes as a result.

and I make just barely enough to not qualify for federal aid. I'd go somewhere else but there is no "somewhere else."

Most probably not.

The Standard Deduction + Personal Exemption is $9.700. If you're a single person with no other credits, exemptions or deductions, that would be the least one could earn without paying federal income taxes. This amount would be subject to Social Security/Medicare and possibly state or local taxes.

$9,700 would be the equivalent of 1,300 hours at the federal minimum wage. About 25 hours per week.

Outside of management, my understanding is that few Wal-Mart employees actually work fulltime.

great number of the Walmart stores in order to be effective.

she was there when a union vote was defeated...and then left with all the rest of the crooked and criminal management
and went to......Walmart! To be on the Board of Directors, I thought.

She had a white streak in her hair and was known as The Skunk.
