With labour unions and Fair Work Australia the minimum wage is about $18 an hour.
In America, with no union and no umpire Walmart pays its staff about $8 an hour.
In Texas I saw jobs at $6 an hour. How can poor workers feed a family on that?
They can't. So Big Biz passes the buck of putting food on low-paid worker tables to the US Taxpayer. Thus the USDA, at vast public expense, gives 48 million Americans Food Stamps to prevent food riots - while the National Guard is on stand-by in major cities to crush any 'Occupy' protestors.
