We're half asleep. We can MAKE WalMart cover health insurance. We can MAKE them pay higher wages by raising the minimum wage.

WE decide the rules. If a company is going to do business in America (and they DO want to) then they should be required to pay their employees a livable wage. If they can't afford to, then they can't afford to be in business. (WalMart can So afford to).
