"... no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country..." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I believe, with FDR, that part of the responsibility of every business is to pay its employees living wages. If a company cannot do that they should not be in business. In some cases, true, that means a business should fail. In some cases, true, it could continue but with fewer employees. In the case of Wal-Mart there is no shortage of means. Only the greed of Walmart's executives and owners, and Republican refusal to raise the minimum wage, prevents decent wages.
