Liberals loathe Walmart dependency, cool with government dependency

If you’ve been reading liberal websites and news stories lately (I do, so you don’t have to), you’ve probably noticed an all-out assault on Walmart and its allegedly low compensation. Note that these critics are often the same ones asking for more government in Americans’ daily lives.

With headlines like “Walmart threatens to shut down stores if D.C. passes living wage bill” (ThinkProgress) and “New report shows how Walmart forces its employees to live on the dole” (Mother Jones), it’s easy to see why America’s largest employer is facing so much resentment.
