Law of Unintended Consequences. Part of a continuing series.
Posted on September 16th, 2006 by Brian Corbino
Walmartwatch (I’m not linking them, go find it yourself) had one of their imbeciles on Fox today arguing that Wal-Mart ought to be compelled to pay higher wages than the present law requires (he called it a “living wage” - socialist codeword there). His argument is that Wal-Mart employees are often using Medicaid which costs taxpayers money.
So, his solution is to prevent Wal-Mart from building stores in economically depressed areas.
Which leads to the ultimate result of potential Wal-Mart employees being completely on public support. And that, of course, costs the taxpayers even more.
I expect this point is completely lost on the mental midgets that are ruled by their hatred of Wal-Mart.
