I was watching CNN over the weekend (I think it makes for fascinating tv viewing) and I saw this story.

Just another example of Big Business wooing the mass population, while doing nearly nothing to ensure that even the most basic needs of that population are met.

Thanks, Regina!

That is a really important story. I also worked out $10 hour, 40 hour per week, 52 weeks per year, which is $20,800 before taxes. This is what Randy's mother makes after a lifetime of working at Wal-Mart. Hmm.

Thank you for sharing this Regina. It brings the reality of the low wage laborer's struggle to life.
