Wal-Mart: Always Low Wages Always Wal-Mart’s poverty-level wages often make their employees eligible for government assistance programs such as health care, food stamps, subsidized school lunches and subsidized housing (Wright). “Instead of providing affordable health insurance, Wal-Mart encourages its employees to sign up for publicly funded programs, dodging its health care costs and passing them onto taxpayers”(Wright 7). According to the film “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price,” Wal-Mart costs taxpayers $1,557,000,000 to supports its employees. That is just one effect of Wal-Mart’s low prices. This retail giant can afford to provide better wages and benefits to its employees.
With all those title in one person anyone would think that is the job to have because the more work the more money, not true in Wal-Marts pay role the company actually save’s money by assigning workers to do more for less, same as they use to bring in profit by the consumer buying more for less.

Is Wal-Mart Good for America? Dennize Sayago Wal-Mart is one of our nation’s largest retailers. It is known for its “incredible low prices.” Many American families relay on Wal-Mart for affordable shopping, claiming that the store saves them large amounts of money. Although this may be true for some Americans, Wal-Mart is at fault for many of the economic hardships that are dealt by many other Americans. With the popularity of Wal-Mart growing, one would think that it is a manufacturers’ dream to sell and endorse their product threw Wal-Mart, but In order to keep their “incredibly low prices” Wal-Mart must be able to buy products
Wal-Mart like to portray itself as a seller of American products however the main problem is that it outsources all of its work and is full of shelves with items mad in foreign countries, mainly China. As a result many American manufactures are going out of business. I believe that Wal-Mart has many negatives such as not treating it employees fairly and should be required to sell a certain amount of American products. The first criticism of Wal-Mart is the way it treats it employees. Yes, Wal-Mart provides many uneducated Americans with job however it isn’t a job from which can make livable wage.

Tikora Alexander Wehler Wellness 8 November 2010 Food Inc. As one of the leading countries of processed foods, America struggles to provide the public with healthy whole foods due to the constant growth of population. Stated in the film Food Inc., “There are no seasons” in America because scientists have discovered ways to manipulate sources in order for citizens to have harvested foods all year round. The concerns of these methods include proper raising of the foods, price inflation and deflation, and health issues. American citizens have trusted certain regulators such as the FDA (Food Drug Administration) to regulate large suppliers which was explained in the film that their control and authority is limited due to most suppliers having so much power. The conflict for farmers to grow whole and natural food (for the pubic) is the time that is needed.
Connie from http://www.worldwidehippies.com/2011/11/20/drug-test-welfare-recipients-really-hmm/ personally feels that if she has to get drug tested to get a job, that will provide others with welfare benefits, then you should have to be tested to receive them. “Why should I work hard, so others can smoke, snort it away. I was a single mom for many years, working two jobs. It would make me sick to see people come through line at the grocery store I worked at, with their food stamp card, wearing VERY expensive clothing. There you have it, my honest opinion.
Peter Singer states that with a mere two hundred dollars an unhealthy two year old child could be raised into a healthy six year old. As a result, one can easily see how the targeted American donating money spent towards material goods could save world poverty. Among Singer's many scenarios buying a television set worth a thousand dollars is morally wrong because according to Singer you could have saved five children's lives for the equivalent of the television set. This concept makes sense and would be of great asset in solving world poverty. America, being under the United Nations standard for a country's gross donation would rise in the ranks to being a charitable country that donates the most which would spread American leadership qualities towards other nations.

Direct exports subsidies for manufactured goods are prohibited by GATT, but most industrialized nations do not obey to the treaty. I believe that the economic, political, and social consequences of subsidies can generally not be justified. However, arguments such as the protection of national security and the protection of infant industry can, in some cases, justify the implementation of subsidies in certain industries and nations. ECONOMIC ASPECTS: One of the most important argument against subsides is based on economic theory. Subsidies and price supports have existed for centuries, but now they are incredibly wasteful and completely outmoded for world markets.
