Paying For Benefits

Let's Give Ourselves Health Care and a Raise - The Smirking Chimp: ". . .Wal-Mart is not 'bad' because it pays low wages or skimps on providing health care. If they did that, Target could cut their wages and health care and charge lower prices, and customers might go to Target instead. They're just doing their job, as WE, the people, through our government, define it through our laws.

So whose job IS it to provide for higher wages and health care? It is OUR job - the people - through OUR laws and regulations. WE are the ones who have dropped the ball on higher wages and health care. WE tell companies what to do - or the system doesn't work. If WE, through our government, require ALL companies to pay higher wages and provide health care that levels the playing field for Wal-Mart's competition with Target. . ."
