Reminder: People who don't make money don't spend money

   It's common wisdom in the upper echelons of Corporate America that the little people shouldn't get paid squat because they don't deserve squat because they only contribute the labor and stuff that makes businesses money. 
   Well, the little people do more for corporations than simply contribute hard work for crappy pay.  They also spend money on things many corporations sell, keeping them in business.  However, if the little people don't make money, they don't spend it.  Don't believe me?  Well, Wal-Mart is feeling the pinch. 
   The irony is that Wal-Mart has been actively trying to push down wages and drive people out of real jobs so they can be dinky part-time Wal-Mart employees for a long time now.  They've been extremely successful at this.  I just hope for their sake that the long-term plan really was to lower the number of people who can afford to shop at Wal-Mart so low that they run out of business.
