Walmart: The Friend Of The Poor

[PoliticalChic]

"Champagne for my real friends, and real pain for my sham friends."
Monty Brogan, drug dealer in "25th hour"

Walmart gets champagne....Progressives, the pain.



Of course, we should begin with the use of the term 'friend.'
In the most general definition, one who is not hostile, or at least, doesn't harm you.
Soooo....how can Progressives and unions be considered as 'friends' to the poor?


1. Progressives/Liberals pretend to be friends of the poor, but data tells a different tale. Over half a century ago, Progressives launched their 'War on Poverty," and have blown $ trillion a year to wind up with almost the very same % in poverty today.
"Throwing money at the problem has neither reduced poverty nor made the poor self-sufficient."

Maybe they really don't want to cure poverty, huh?


2. Progressives are joined at the hip with labor unions, and that's the basis for minimum wage laws. Not to relieve poverty.

"FDR talked Congress into creating Social Security in 1935 and imposing the nation’s first comprehensive minimum-wage law in 1938. ...The minimum-wage law prices many of the inexperienced, the young, the unskilled, and the disadvantaged out of the labor market. For example, the minimum-wage provisions passed as part of another act in 1933 threw an estimated 500,000 blacks out of work."

3. Soooo....who is truly the friend of the poor?

As usual, it is the free market to the rescue......if only the Progressives and the unions would allow them to help the poor.

"If budget-cutters in Washington decided to eliminate food-stamp benefits to New Yorkers, the city’s politicians would be denouncing the cruelty of the “Republican war on the poor.” Yet Mayor Bill De Blasio and the city council are already inflicting the same sort of pain on low-income New Yorkers by denying them access to one of the nation’s most effective anti-poverty programs: Walmart."
For Profit, Anti-Poverty


Here in NYC, the 'Hammer and Sickle' crew, called 'city government,' will not allow Walmart to set up shop!
New Yorkers must journey out to the suburbs to find the two or three Walmarts that are close to the Big Apple.

The Leftist would have been better for the poor if they followed Michael Corleone's advice:
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Well, wegie....I don't know if it's 'more unsettling' than consciously and purposely planning to keep huge swaths of folks poor, but I admit it is unsettling.


There certainly is a meanness in Leftists.....a cruelty.

45 Million Americans Still Stuck Below Poverty Line: Census | The Huffington Post

Why do you idiot liberals just make up "facts"? Haven't you learned yet people are going to check your facts, especially when you don't provide a link to support your claims? Ignorant and arrogant is a horrible combination, but that is the standard we have come to expect from you NYCARROTHEAD. You are, and will always be, my bitch.

More than 45 million people, or 14.5 percent of all Americans, lived below the poverty line last year, the Census Bureau reported on Tuesday. The percentage of Americans in poverty fell from 15 percent in 2012, the biggest such decline since the year 2000. But the level of poverty is still higher than 12.3 percent in 2006, before the recession began. (Story continues after chart.)

Without the poor, how would leftist politicians get elected?

Liberal/Progressive/Democrat "thinking" at it's finest.


Any who delve deeply into the reasons for minimum wage laws and the poverty plantation will find racism just below the surface.

1. Up until the New Deal. The National Recovery Act (NRA…1933) established codes that required the payment of set wages for certain industries. And who established the codes? The same union-business folks who saw to the exclusion of blacks in the first place.
   1. Set wages reduced an employer’s incentive to hire blacks. Sitkofff, “A New Deal for Blacks,” p. 330-335. Since there was no economic advantage in it, why engender the hostility of white workers?
   2. Many employers either dismissed black workers and hired whites in their place, or eliminated the lower level jobs held by blacks because the mandated wages were above the value of the job. Wolters, “Negroes and the Great Depression,” p. 122-123.

More proof of the axiom:
To know what the Left is doing, see what they claim about the other side.
