Not to justify it one way or the other, but what do you think would happen if they were paid more and didn't qualify for government assistance? Do you think they would even bother to get out and get a job at all?

I am not sure where this information is coming from, but it is certainly not correct....either that or not correctly worded. Do you mean to say the actual FAMILY only donated $4K to charities, or that the Wal-Mart Corporation only donated $4K to charites? (Because the latter of the two is certainly not correct.)
