People in CA pay a Hell of a lot more than that for the non-working
citizens, so I don't mind paying for people that are working. BTW
University of California, Berkeley, now there's a non biased study on
corportations. LOL

ECONOMY - WAL-MART IS NO BARGAIN: CBS News reports Americans are paying

a
stiff price for bargains at the mega corporation Wal-Mart. According to

a
recent University of California, Berkeley study, Wal-Mart actually

takes a
lot more from communities than it gives back in low prices. "Because

of the
low wages and because people do not have health insurance through their
employer, people rely on public support to make ends meet," says the
school's Ken Jacobs. In California, taxpayers pay an estimated

$82-million a
year to take care of health care, food stamps, and other social

services for
Wal-Mart employees.
