You can't possibly be this dense. It's called cost shifting and it's how major corporations become cost competitive. Are you trying to justify the reasons why you support such an evil empire?
Corporations aren't able to shift their costs onto anyone. Only government has the power to do that.
You mean our government or the governments of other countries that look the other way on issues like pollution and human rights violations?

Wal-Mart Expands Check Cashing Services - DailyFinance
Like it does on many products and services, Wal-Mart's check-cashing fees largely undercut those charged by a typical check-cashing outlet, where consumers pay an average of 2% to 4% of the face value of the check to cash it.
In New York, for example, it costs $18.60 to cash a $1,000 check and $93 for a $5,000 check in a check-cashing store. Those rates are set by the state Superintendent of Banks. [[GASP - those leftists are helpful]] By contrast, Wal-Mart charges $3 to cash checks up to $1,000 and $6 for checks up to $5,000.Like it does on many products and services, Wal-Mart's check-cashing fees largely undercut those charged by a typical check-cashing outlet, where consumers pay an average of 2% to 4% of the face value of the check to cash it.
Seems like Walmart is going down the list of Leftist problems that they can't solve and fixing them. Predatory PayDay lenders eh? Where's the "DONE" button?
Wait a minute!!!! Hold the line!!!!!
Stephen Altobelli, a spokesman for the Financial Service Centers of America -- which represents mom-and-pop to publicly traded check cashing stores -- isn't too worried about Wal-Mart putting his members out of business or forcing them to match prices. He says most of the customers who use check-cashing services live in the inner city where banks and big box retailers like Wal-Mart and Kmart are typically not found.
Oh ain't that cute.. No Walmarts allowed in those Liberal leftist bastions... So no cheap check cashing and income tax prep.. And the SPOKESMOUTH for the predatory lenders ain't worried, he's bashing Walmart as hard as he can along with DotCom and the misdirected minions...
Clean-up on Aisle 4... I think DotCom got a little sick of this..
Great points. WalMart has cheaper check cashing prices but WalMarts are too big to be in the Inner cities. Its a land problem not that "liberals wont let a WalMart here" thing.
You've shown that their cash checking prices are great and that's a great point to be made in a check cashing prices thread. This is a WalMart puts the tax burden of their employees on us thread. You haven't shown whats great about that.
California To Wal-Mart: Enough! No More Taxpayer Subsidized Profits For You
California To Wal-Mart: Enough! No More Taxpayer Subsidized Profits For You
Back to the original OP --
Why are rw's in favor of tax subsidies for WalMart?
Corporations aren't able to shift their costs onto anyone. Only government has the power to do that.
You mean our government or the governments of other countries that look the other way on issues like pollution and human rights violations?
What "human rights" violations? We weren't discussing pollution when you mentioned "cost shifting." We were discussing welfare.
Pollution only occurs on public property, so you can blame the government for that.
Do away with the business killing Obamacare and these employees would still have their full hours of employment.How many times have people tried to tell others that just because it's profitable for Wal MArt doesn't mean its good for America? Answer: Too manyFor years, Wal-Martand other large retail operatorshave been piling up huge profits by controlling their labor costs through paying employees sub-poverty level wages. As a result, it has long been left to the taxpayer to provide healthcare and other subsidized benefits to the many Wal-Mart employees who are dependent on Medicaid, food stamp programs and subsidized housing in order to keep their families from going under.
With Medicaid eligibility about to be expanded in some 30 states, as a result of the Affordable Care Act, Wal-Mart has responded by cutting employee hoursand thereby wageseven further in order to push more of their workers into state Medicaid programs and increase Wal-Mart profits. Good news for Wal-Mart shareholders and senior management earning the big bucksnot so good for the taxpayers who will now be expected to contribute even larger amounts of money to subsidize Wal-Marts burgeoning profits.
That's $6000 per employee times how many employees = $$BIG BUCKS$$$Legislation is now making its way through the California legislaturewith the support of consumer groups, unions and, interestingly, physiciansthat would levy a fine of up to $6,000 on employers like Wal-Mart for every full-time employee that ends up on the states Medi-Cal programthe California incarnation of Medicaid.
The amount of the fine is no coincidence.
A report released last week by the Democratic staff of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, estimates that the cost of Wal-Marts failure to adequately pay its employees could total about $5,815 per employee each and every year of employment.
*snip*After analyzing data released by Wisconsins Medicaid program, the Democratic staff of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce estimates that a single 300- person Wal-Mart Supercenter store in Wisconsin likely costs taxpayers at least $904,542 per year and could cost taxpayers up to $1,744,590 per year about $5,815 per employee.
California To Wal-Mart: Enough! No More Taxpayer Subsidized Profits For You - ForbesWhat I always find fascinating is that the very people who are so critical of the subsidies provided by Obamacare to lower-earning Americans (how many times have these people reminded us that someone is paying for these subsidies) never seem to have much of a problem with the subsidies we pay to support Wal-Marts massive profits by picking up the healthcare tab for so many of the companys employees. But then, those who support taxpayers doing the job that Wal-Mart should be doing tend to be the same folks who are quick to suggest that nobody is forcing workers to take a job at Wal-Mart. Apparently, these people are operating under the opinion that a Wal-Mart worker earning below the federal poverty level wouldnt readily move to a better paying job if such a job were available to that worker.
This move will make other business think twice before thinking they can just get the tax payer to foot their bills

WalMart offers healthcare plans to all employees who average over 30 hours a week. Please prove how taxpayers are subsidizing WalMart.

Did you fucks really think there wasn't going to be any consequences to your fucked up law?
Yet we have Targets, Costcos, BJ's, Best Buys, Kmarts (if the damn things still exist) and all are "big box stores" some in low income areas.
Why not walmart? You say its due to sizing issues, all the above seem to fit...
Keep flopping around, its fun to watch.
So you believe that there are no Walmarts in low income areas? Is that what you're saying?
Your statement:
WalMart has cheaper check cashing prices but WalMarts are too big to be in the Inner cities. Its a land problem not that "liberals wont let a WalMart here" thing.
I just showed a place where Liberals don't want Walmart in, and it has nothing to do with land/space, it has to do with them not liking Wal Marts Buinsess model.
That is thier right. What you do not have the right to do is lie about it.
Wow...You really are this dense.You can't possibly be this dense.You can't possibly be this dense. It's called cost shifting and it's how major corporations become cost competitive. Are you trying to justify the reasons why you support such an evil empire?
Cost of the goods is not the only reason people shop at certain stores.
Oh, really? So what do you like about Walmart besides the low prices? The stunning architecture? The spiffy displays? The cheerful employees? The colorful characters? The ultra-efficient checkout lines? The crappy quality foods?
WalMart offers healthcare plans to all employees who average over 30 hours a week. Please prove how taxpayers are subsidizing WalMart.

Let's see, it took the OP 7 pages into this thread to post a link to the quotes in the OP (which by the way is against board rules) and then it turns out the quotes in the OP are an OP/ED piece and do not link to anything to back up his OPINIONS.
But I see you're more than willing to take as gospel anything spewed as long as it supports your point of view.

Yes, it is the issue....You just don't want to own up to the fact.WalMart could pay them more so they could afford it but you oppose that because Walmart should be able to do what they want (which is not the issue)
That would be what know-nothing lolberal fruitcakes are doing here...You create a vast socialistic welfare state, which itself is created broken, then bellyache that people who qualify for the programs actually take advantage of them.So there are fixes, it's just that you oppose or have opposed all the fixes. So you can crow about how things aren't fixed. See how that works. Break it, then complain about it being broken.
BTW: Walmart has spent YEARS trying to get into Lefty cities. It's NOT a land issue. They have scaled stores to fit. And FINALLY they started to break into Chicago and other UNION and Leftist city limits. The experience has been major positive and it's gonna be hard for you jerks to stop it. But please keep whining..

The State could raise mw but you would oppose that because mw is for entry level workers (which is a lie but the point you would raise)

It was a HUGE fight here when a Walmart wanted to open on a long-blighted, weed-filled and long-abandoned school property. MANY years of fighting, and the usual local suspects on the left that block progress with any chance they get, but oddly call themselves "progressives" used every lie and false claim under the Sun to try to stop it, but it was finally approved and built. It turned out to be a great success, and almost everyone who opposed it now admits they were wrong, and shop there. It anchors many new businesses in the shopping center it created, sends millions of dollars to the city in taxes, and millions to the school district, which still owns the land, The entire intersection is revitalized as well.
And just last year a Walmart "neighborhood market" (grocery-only) opened near me and I love it! Great prices, great food, employees are much nicer than the lifer union drones at the other groceries, and seem to enjoy their jobs. Best meat in town btw, at the best price.
Must drive the FAT-cat/greedy union bosses CRAZY!

ABSOLUTELY NONE of that would prevent those workers from qualifying for Medicaid or allow them to afford Health Insurance.. I can't afford health insurance anymore and may soon drop that $22K/year burden..
Are you not getting that point? Doesn't fix the problem.. Just gives YOU and mental midgets in Cali an excuse to rape WalMart..
