Some interesting data: The next time you go into a Walmart store, as you look at all those workers in the store, make note that their average pay is a meager $8.50 a hour. Now extrapolate this to a full years wage and you will find they fall into the poverty level. And it should also be noted that approximately 50% of those workers don't have any health insurance and for those that do, they pay about $200.00 a month in premium and have a automatic $1,000 deductible...and all of this to raise a family on $8.50 a hour. So guess what happens when these workers for the largest company in the United States get sick or a member of their family gets sick and has to go to the doctor or hospital? Yes...we the taxpayer has to foot the bill!! So what is Bush's solution to this issue. Well for starters and with his desire to exclude stock dividends from being taxed, he wants to make damn sure the Walton family doesn't pay the workers a livable wage and thus have no medical benefits, he wants to make damn sure that they get a tax free dividend of $500,000,000.00 a YEAR so that when they get sick they don't have the same worry as their workers and we tax payers.
