Problem is lots of people just work minimum wage jobs and don't really move up any ladder.
Personally I think anyone that makes a half decent living and shops at Walmart is a moron simply because Walmart treats their workers like garbage.

I don't see the connection you're making. Are you saying we shouldn't subsidize people who don't have the potential to earn (through their productivity) whatever we determine a living wage to be? What is your solution for that problem? Because boycotting Walmart doesn't get their employees higher pay - it gets them unemployed.
