Faces of Greed: Walton Family of Walmart

The Walton family of Walmart is worth over $160 billion, but low-wage Walmart workers are struggling to get by. Do you think the Waltons have enough money to pay their workers a living wage?

And most of the registers in their grocery stores are self checkout now. They really don't want to pay any employees. Explain to me how that trickle down principal works again...

Most minimum wage jobs around the world suck for pay and benefits. It’s only when government steps in and requires employers to pay up and offer paid vacation time, required breaks, and maternity leave, health benefits, makes the job more tolerable. For instance in Ontario Canada, a Wal-Mart employee makes a minimum of $14 an hour, gets 2 weeks of paid vacation time at 4% their pay (after 5 years of service that increases to 3 weeks at 6%), 18 months of paid maternity leave (nation wide), 10 sick days Including 2 paid days, and a required unpaid break of 30 mins during a 5 hour shift. These benefits extend to all the workers of Ontario Canada and vary from province to province.

Haven't shopped there in 2 years and never plan on it ever again.

It's not just greed. It's a sickness akin to substance addiction.

Psychopaths are basically pure greed. It's an extremely common condition and explain why the establishment is what it is. No one ever seems to talk about it

Walmart is so gross. I feel like I need a tetanus shot before shopping there.

And Hillary Clinton used to sit on Walmart's board of directors, which is just one of the many factors that led me to be a Bernie-then-Jill voter in 2016.

The fundamental flaw of capitalism is that it *requires* poverty. If goods that fulfill basic human needs weren't commoditized, then the owning class wouldn't be able to exploit our "demand" (need) of said goods for profit.

Although social programs are a step in the right direction, the problems that these employees face is systemic.

As a former employee of Walmart, I would never work there ever again. Its not worth it.

[udrus]

The sad part is that a doctor where i live makes less than a wallmart employee

[fafdus]

That's a dope ass beat with an awesome message. Lolololol

[jessicaking]

This doesn't need music it's too important. So of the Walmart workers need to rise up and the Amazon workers. That would be a game changer.

[germak]

Walmart workers are getting cut cause their work isn't worth the current minimum wage.

[jessicaking]

He had the nerve to say that "they" we're parasites. FUCKING nerve of this guy.

Rob Walton: Yes, my children, I'm Rob Walton, and I own all of you; we have a great future. Herman Munster laugh

[sokoysugoi]

As a Walmart associate I can assure you; China one of our least sketchy suppliers. lmao

The problem itself is not being wealthy (Sanders himself is quite wealthy, he’s earned it) but in not using your position to pay forward to the world and your community. Theodore Roosevelt, despite his many flaws; is to me a great example of what the wealthy can do when they keep themselves grounded in reality and move forward to help others using their wealth. With great power comes great responsibility.

This is the only thing i agree with Bernie
