Bernie Sanders(BS) identifies biggest welfare family in America:


That's just retarded. People who haven't a skill-set to make enough money or who are unwilling to do what it takes to make ends meet is what is costing taxpayers money.

Walmart has nothing to do with it.
actually it's both..
 
If the charged correctly, and paid fairly,.

1) at current wages and prices they are shrinking and going bankrupt

2) cant raise prices when they are already shrinking and going bankrupt!!

Welcome to Econ 101.
Walmart is not going bankrupt in fact the are opening new stores
Walmart boosting pay, opening new stores while closing others

Jan. 22, 2016
It's been a busy first month of the year for mega retailer Walmart with news of store closings and now a move to increase its minimum wage, which represents a pay raise for 1.2 million workers.

Neither move is connected to the other and the salary boost was actually announced last year. Average hourly pay will be $13.38 for fulltimers and $10.58 for part time employees. Only the newest hired will start at a rate under $10 an hour, according to the Huffington Post.

The pay raise is being done to increase employee performance levels and boost morale.

Last week the world'd biggest retailer announced it would close more than 269 stores worldwide, and 154 are in the U.S.

"Actively managing our portfolio of assets is essential to maintaining a healthy business," said Doug McMillon, president and CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, in a company statement. "Closing stores is never an easy decision, but it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future. It's important to remember that we'll open well more than 300 stores around the world next year. So we are committed to growing, but we are being disciplined about it."

Walmart states in the announcement it plans to open up to 60 supercenters and 95 neighborhood markets in fiscal year 2017. There are also seven to 10 new Sam’s Club (the Walmart retail warehouse) on the expansion board.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, which cites Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. retail workers earned an average of $14.95 an hour as of December 2015.

stupid libs think welfare is high now but wait till Walmart goes bankrupt and another 1 million are unemployed
 
He says its the Walmart family because they make so much by paying their employees so little that their employees qualify for various welfare programs. His violent solution is to take money from the Walmart family at the point of a gun.

Does he own a gun?

Welfare is chump-change, unless it's for big business and the MIC.

BS being a typical stupid liberal does not realize that even at current wages Walmart is shrinking and going bankrupt as an old fashioned bricks and mortar retail store. BS's plan would bankrupt the company and unemploy 1 million people, at least.

BS being a typical stupid liberal does not realize the American people are free to stop buying at Walmart if they want to deprive the Walmart family of money, bankrupt the company, and unemploy 1 million people. Instead BS wants to be elected as a Nazi liberal who will violently solve the Walmart problem.

Old news, even for USMB:

Bernie: "Today the Walton family of Walmart own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of America."
