Ayn Rand even said if gibs exist, exploit them until they collapse

You don't get good boy points for pulling yourself up by the bootstraps in Weimerica

It isn't capitalism, the US is a mixed market with tons of intervention and subsidies.

Their employees don't have to work there if they feel the pay is inadequate. They were not drafted. If they were worth more than Wal Mart pays, they would be working at those non Wal Mart wages. Would you be happier id Wal MArt simply refused to employ people collecting public assistance?

The problem isn't Wal-Mart, the problem is the gibs.

I’d be happier if kiked companies were held accountable for creating the economic conditions that have lead to this. Stop being such a cuck

>walmart gives their employees 35 hour workweeks so walmart wont have to offer benefits.

>walmart has 25 checkout lanes and 3 checkers.

>walmart is chinas best customer

treats employees like shit
shitty service
pro commie

the answer is simple - boycott walmart

Walmart spends millions of dollars lobbying for easier gibs for low-paid employees. They are creating the problem

I would be happier if government was held accountable for creating social conditions that have lead to this, and robbing working people to support scumbag niggers like you. Stop being such nigger cuck, you low IQ piece of shit.

>stop giving them gibs
>problem solved

The answer is holding Walmart accountable for their crimes against the volk and putting its executives in a concentration camp

>real wages are collapsing due to social conditions

This desu

Walmart are based accelerationists

no more welfare

Don't post meme flags in my thread ever again

Full time work is like 32 hours a week though. Plus their benefits are pretty decent and their pay is reasonable ($11/hr ish) for stocking shelves and running a checkout line.

>>every year, Walmart employees receive $6.2 billion in food stamps, Medicaid and Section 8 Housing due to low income
>How is that capitalism? The company is intentionally using taxpayer money to subsidize their own shitty wages
How did you manage to blame Walmart for that? The government is the one giving away the freebies and acting non-capitalistically. Furthermore, ask youself: why doesn't Walmart hire people for more hours? It's because the government puts extra burdens on the company, once employees have too many hours. The company is acting rationally; it's the government that's screwing things up.

Clinton was on the board of Walmart, no wonder they're stealing from the taxpayers so hard

Did anyone ever say it was capitalism? Left policy exists to benefit big corporate task masters. They introduce policy to prevent competition, and keep large corps at their thrones. If you seriously believe socialism will help you are retarded. Socialism looks a lot like what we see here. You see the same in China. Rich Crony up with politicians and they stay at the top. Literally there is no difference to what the us has, and what the us would look like under socialism.

Again...

We don't practice capitalism. We practice usury via compounding interest, regulated by a central bank, based on a debt-based/created currency. No country has ever practiced capitalism. There is no free market without government interference. As long as everyone falsely believes we practice capitalism, our system will remain broken and the American people will continue to pay interest to a private banking cartel to digitally create our own currency, like idiots. Don't worry, we are not the only idiots, any other country with a central bank under the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), also is falling for this massive wealth transfer scheme.

Remember, both the Fed and the IRS were created in 1913. This way, if they can't screw you with usury/debt, they will get you with taxes.

>How is that capitalism?
It is not.

>The company is intentionally using taxpayer money to subsidize their own shitty wages

Just coming to realize why the wealthy elite always push for more socialism. You didn't think those billionaire Jews fund Sanders and Clinton campaigns because they give a shit about you, did you?

>every year, Walmart employees receive $6.2 billion in food stamps, Medicaid and Section 8 Housing due to low income

How much does Walmart pay in taxes every year?

>How much does Walmart pay in taxes every year?

7.1 billion last year.

Now figure all the actual "profit", paid in dividends to shareholders after that is taxed at the highest rates as well. They do pay more than they take which is likely more than can be said for any Marxist in this thread crying about them.

Why the fuck are you working at walmart? If you are not a kid looking for spare gas money between jobs or an old retired fuck with no life? If you are working at Walmart for a career your life is not worth living

I agree let's abolish welfare, reduce taxes for both corps and people who earn money. That will teach Walmart!

The point is they would refuse to work there if they weren’t being taken care of by the government. The welfare disturbs the free market of labor.

walmardt shouldn't be a career, its an entry level part time jobtype for pre college or seasonal positions, if you want to raise children, but the best you can do is Walmart then you sghouldnt be raising children or your baby daddy should be working a good job, fuckin welfare state and the left believe they are ENTITLED to more money more welfare more affirmative action, it is out of control.

Your "dude just get a better job lmao" advice is fine for /SIG/ but does nothing fir the problem that we've got 1.4 million Wal-Mart workers burdening this country right now

So you're bragging that through subsidy abuse they're giving themselves an effective ~90% tax cut by sucking money out almost as fast as it's pulled in

Why would anyone under a certain pay grade even want to work full time when it’s easier and pays more just to sign up for gibs and work part time?

The problem is that walmart killed a lot of small business retailers that did offer “careers”

Fair enough OP.

Let's remove food stamps, medicaid, and section 8 housing.

This. Plus if you leave on good terms they will always hire you back, especially if your not a retard. Problem is most people who work there are fucking stupid.
t. Former WalMart employee

its just the truth, people should have more personal responsibility and we shouldn't pander to the lowest common denominator, theres literally nothing you can do at this point Walmart employess should never be allowed to take state benefits in the first place,and private sector corps shouldn't be getting anything from the fed government, that's just crony capitalism

a small hardware store is a career?
its the same work/postion/ bebefits as a Walmart
walmart killed local business myth is called free market
consumers made that choice, walmart offered better prices and the consumers voted with their feet and wallets. dont come at me with that low i.q. workers party brand socialism, its really that simple, people wanted cheaper prices, blamew the fed gov for its absurd tax rates that gave rise to walmart and killed local america

They’re dragging down wages across the entire industry. They’re creating a lower common denominator

Welfare standards are set by the Feds, not Wal-Mart.

not every employee is full time

Trump is working on welfare reform.

>Most of the money goes to pay Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits. These are part of mandatory spending. Those are programs established by prior Acts of Congress. The mandatory budget will cost $2.535 trillion in FY 2018. That's almost two-thirds of all U.S. government spending. It's skyrocketing because more baby boomers are reaching retirement age. By 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65.

So I'm paying for a bunch of boomers gibs and people who can't pay for hospital bills? I'm leaving the country, I refuse.

Plenty of countries will be happy to take in a geologist from an Ivy League university.

What's it like using food stamps is it degrading I would honestly be embarrassed and ashamed if I had to use them

Hahahah you think niggers have a sense of decency?

They're all victims!

corporations dont have any money only people have money
any tax imposed in the name of a corporate tax is just a tax on the consumer and employee
secondly, a walmrt job is a low skill position, it shouldnt be paid more than its worth, a walmart wont effect the wages of a carpenter,or the wages of a pipefitter, so wtf r u talking about son

There are no food stamps. It is a debit card that is loaded usually monthly. Theyve made it easy and convenient without any risk of embarrassment.

>the decimation of small businesses is a good thing!
>lower prices for cheap chink trash sure beats higher wages for my own countrymen!

owning a small business selling goods is a career dumbass, and a corporation abusing government gibs to create artificially subsidized low prices is not free market.

That's becuse they probably work part time or less.

>The problem is that walmart killed a lot of small business retailers that did offer “careers”
This. Sometimes I also wonder why planning and zoning allow, say, two big stores into the same town, neither store does well and then they both fail

Walmart is evil, Walmart destroys culture, Walmart exports better jobs, Walmart is wageslavery. For America to live, Walmart must die.

u are too caught up in muh Marxism to see the META kid, remember that thing called online shopping? Walmart is irrelevant the fact is small shops as you are thinking are just not possible anymore as a sure way to secure a career, its not the evil joos, its not the evil corps, its not even the retarded swamp dwellers, its called evolution and technology. I'm sorry but its that simple/

>Implying that mom and pop stores paid high wages....

Fucking this, there's a reason wages have stagnated for 50 years.

>any tax is just a tax on the consumer
I don’t think we need higher taxes, we need to stop subsidizing walmart’s business model so that smaller businesses can compete
>won’t affect the wages of a carpenter
Flooding the market with cheap import furniture has done exactly that
>low skill should mean low pay
Running your own small business isn’t easy. Low skilled jobs used to be paid higher wages anyways, it’s only recently that real wages have collapsed for the working class. How is that a good thing?
It’s easier for a lifetime employee of a mom and pop to break into the higher levels of running a small business than it is for a lifetime Walmart employee to get into corporate

>Trump is working on welfare reform.

He should remove it altogether. I say we should have a 'Don't Work, Don't Eat' policy. That way all the fucking lazy ass left wing parasites will starve to death and then the USA will be great again.

Starve the parasites to death.

so you want the government to decide who can open what and where,thats the ultra regulation of a socialist state, a free market allows consumers to vote with their feet, those stores failed because people didn't find them useful enough, not through some lapse of the all knowing all seeing state, wtf is wrong with you people, you blame the state for being too tyrannical then blame it for not being tyrannical enough? morons.

Low income families really are at a disadvantage, parents are usually not well educated and almost all low income families are raised by single mothers. And depending on the family background they could likely develop mental health issues later on in life which makes things extremely harder, what we really need to be doing is fixing this toxic problem instead of making fun of it because it does affect us more then we think as well.

yea its called taxes and inflation.

carpenters build houses stupid fuck.

Hey the family that owns Wal-Mart is wealthier than 50% of US citizens combined.
That's bullshit. It should be more like 56%.

>Walmart kills competition by lobbying for subsidized wages and low tariffs on chink imports
”hurr durr free market in action”
Some do, some also build furniture. I work in a machine shop that’s next to a carpentry shop that builds cabinets.

Lol, Walmart actively lobbied their suppliers to export factories so that they could buy more for cheap. Now Walmart controls the logistics and has been coppying products and undercutting all competition, notice how there is a cheap "Great Value" alternative? That's cause Walmart reverse engineers and exports to chinks and can afford to undercut the other contenders cause they own the logistics chain. Check on the back of "Great Value" Walmart brands and you'll see that it was shipped from Walmart distribution centers. Its a monopoly and must be destroyed.

You are a retard, and/or this is bait

youre talking about crony capitalism, u silly Marxist always try to conflate the 2 or you truly are too low iq to know the difference, I'm not saying Walmart hasn't taken advantage of state benefits but whos fault is that? Walmart? or the crooks WE elect? u peons are literally being used as a hammer against the wrong people, the people to blame are in Washington , not wall street not wal mart. hur de hur rich peepol only make money bah steelin it hur de hur \
na nigger youre just too stupid to be useful enough to be rich.

How do I do my part in taking gibs? I'm a white man and have never considered taking a gib in the past.

try me bruh. we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, it makes no sense that we can have the highest corporate tax,and the highest wages? how does that work?

They should probably use their considerable skills to find a job in a more lucrative field. It's not as if putting boxes on shelves and letting a machine do the math on how much a customer should pay has ever been considered a high paying career.

You're welcome to give them some of your extra cash out of your own pocket to supplement their income, though.

people choose to shop there, nobody is forcing them to shop their and its their choice and perogotive to save money, you lliterally want to force people to shop places where they spend more money,how absurd is that, u think you know better how to run peoples lives than they do? you must be a fan of Obama and Socialism in general, huh?

>Marxist
Read Das Kapital and then read Mein Kampf and come say that again with a straight face
>who’s fault is it?
Irrelevant, all traitors that have lead to these conditions have to be held accountable. It doesn’t matter if they’re on the business end or the government end. Walmart betrayed whites and enriched chinks, they’re a mix of Jews and race traitors who deserve to hang

Corporate profits are higher than ever despite high taxes. Taxes are rising with profits for the last fifty years but real wages have been stagnant since 1965.

why the fuck would I read a book by hitler? that's like entry level bitterness I'm a beta male angry at the world type shit, no thanks I don't need ideology to define myself because I think for myself

Read up on which mental illness to fake for best gibs. If you're older, then some flavor of schizophrenia.

its not up to the state to choose what you keep as profit, that's not freedom, you will only be a slave or a slaver, but you do not understand what freedom means, therefore you are the subhuman.

Don't you care about your community? Walmart destroys good, local jobs and small business, to replace them with soulless 24/7 service. Your entire worldview is subsumed to economics, your basic interactions with other humans is being subordinated to economic thinking. Its highly autistic and shows a severe lack of socialization. You think of other humans in terms of economics, "how can I exchange/transact?" but social life is more complex than capitalist rules of econ. I am not trying to be a prick, despite the rhetoric. Walmart has so much money they can BUY the same politicians we elect,

Its a vicious cycle, jobs are replaced with low wage service sector work, then all they can afford is Walmart. Think of your fellow man, not of mega Corporations. I used to be like you, but you can't deny these feelings, trust me, you won't feel like a villain if you turn against Walmart.

>You're welcome to give them some of your extra cash out of your own pocket to supplement their income, though.
Isn't that exactly what we're doing through welfare?

>The left:
>Fuck capitalism because Walmart employees on food stamps are straining us.
>Fuck poor rural white people for voting against government assistance. WHY DO THEY VOTE AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS!!!

you cannot change the flow of technology, people have chosen by voting with their feet, u may not be happy with it that's your right, but the simple fact is that more people don't agree with you, or they wouldn't shop there, your view of this is very linear, and trying to use the feelings in this debate is not reality, smallk s hops feels good, socializing feels good, dude, people talk in walmarts, I see them talk to eachother, emplyee talk to people I think you are the 1 with social problems and u are projecting here

Also
>its not real capitalism
You must realize that this is like socialist rhetoric. "Its not muh real ideologically perfect vision". This means that human nature will conflict with the ideals of an ideology, and execution is always different from reality. You can't change everybody into a freemarket capitalist, we need new solutions for new problems user, and you can be a part of it!

Nothing would be better for this country than banning retail chains bigger than 10 stores. God I fucking hate soulless big box stores and the 56% goblins that shop there.

DONALD TRUMP LITERALLY PROMISED TO BRING BACK MANUFACTURING

THE PEOPLE LITERALLY!!!!! LITERALLY!!! VOTED AGAINST THESE FAILED POLICIES!!!! YOU ARE A FACETIOUS LIAR OR OBFUSCATOR!!! THE PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH YOU!!!

>hurr durr my ignorance and illiteracy makes me a free thinker

How about you enlighten me nigger and clearly explain what freedom is, because I don’t see how Walmart pocketing subsidies and colluding with commie chinks advances freedom

a free market capitalist is the most fair way to be. you cannot create a more fair system than one that allows everybody to partake in equally and voting equally with their MUH FIAT FED CURRENCY. see even the most champiionmmed echo among the left and right retards in here is the fed and fiat is so wrong but yuou don't understand it is what truly equalizes us and gives us all a chance to vote into what ideas succeed, and without our FIAT MUH FED the only thing left for people to aquire would be direct control and power over other people. in capitalism we all mostly want to make moneys and a free market gives people a fair shot to do so. u cannot reinvent the wheel, you are not that smart.

>muh voting
>muh rights
>muh walmart
Fuck out of here with your lolbertarian faggot bullshit. Walmart is soulless garbage that preys on ignorant peasants like yourself and destroys whatever culture they have left.

its not retail chains' fault you are an unhappy and bitter unsocial person.

Holy shit, are you a pajeet, can you formulate a fucking thought with that subterranean IQ? Do they teach you how to write basic sentences at Walmart school?

freedom is quite simply the absence of coercion from the state you stupid fucking Nazi larp.
if u cant understand that then why are you reading big books before understand basic defintions
of course the Nazi has no idea what coercion is because his whole system is based on it.

>You're welcome to give them some of your extra cash out of your own pocket to supplement their income, though.
he already does through taxes you dipshit.

My hate for Walmart and big box chains isn't out of hate and bitterness, it's out of love for what we could have otherwise. See pic related. It's the same reason /pol hates seeing white girls fuck niggers, it's out of love not hate.

Dude come back after you put down the bottle for a couple hours and can type coherently

whats does destroying culture mean? I feel like ur just using feel good catch phrases you talk about with your dumbass uncle in his barn. stfu

Walmart is quite simply a goddamn dirty nigger in terms of store architecture, product choice, and employment. You wouldn't let your daughter fuck a nigger, why should you let her shop at a nigger store.

grammar citation. not even on topic or relevant to the points, low hanging fruit, good job.

That applies mostly to families that have 4 kids. Also the standards for things like food stamps are extremely generous.

>I'm too fat, lazy and stupid to read a book and understand different viewpoints
fucking americans

know thyself, you are a confused young man. you are completely contrary in your points, Orwellian even, love is hate, and such

I guess you concede then. not an argument.

>Isn't that exactly what we're doing through welfare?
Yes, except decent people don't need to be forced into giving handouts. They do it because they actually believe in what they're preaching and take personal responsibility for it instead of having the federal leviathan siphon it off into some bottomless pit.

All forms of government financial assistance for working age people should be eliminated.

then dn't shop there?
you just want to justify your use of coersion over a free market toward a company you dont like, its absurd

There are many definitions of freedom. Physical and metaphysical freedom are different. The Christians teach this, a man has as many masters as he has vices. Thus the king can be a slave, whike the slave is free. The abandonment of this ideal proves that libertarian ethos of the free market is antithetical to traditional European values and ideals of freedom.

Lol

what i am sick of is corporate behemoths sucking the middle class in america dry ...local decisions are best when it comes to which businesses citizens want in their town...not up to global corporate handlers

it is also no coincidence that the city of london (world banking headquarters), washington dc (world military headquarters) and vatican city (world religious headquarters) are all businesses, incorporated, under the rule of no government

do some fucking research

What is culture? It is clear you haven't thought about what it means, and don't have the faintest idea what the results of implementing your vision means.

obviously in the context of this conversation we are using freedom as is defined by the constitution, this is pol , as in politics

>yes, goyim, the country is already lost just enjoy the welfare state and don't forget to disqualify yourself from gun ownership too by getting a mental illness on your records

I'm pretty sure the tax code and welfare is sucking the middle class dry, this guy works for Bernie sanders for shooo
