Yea, lets jack all wages to 20.00, couldn't hurt. Typical phase one economic thinking by liberals. Doh, doh, this works here, it will work everywhere.

First bogus argument is comparing Costco to walmart, last time I looked, there wasn't a membership fee for walmart.

If you want to do a little phase two economic thinking try here. Without the partisan bull.

A clip from the link. Leave to a democrat to think everyone is rolling in dough. And promoting policies that hurt the very people they claim to help.

"Costco's higher revenues are also a function of their demographic. Costco shoppers have an average income of $85,000--not surprising, because Costco tends to locate itself in affluent suburbs. Walmart shoppers are what the firm calls "value driven shoppers" which is to say, there's not a lot of spare money lying around the house, just waiting for an opportunity to buy a 6-lb wheel of Camembert. Value driven are very price conscious, and willing to forgoe things like service or artful displays in order to shave an extra 50 cents off the weekly shaving cream budget. If you've been wondering why Walmart seems serenely unworried that last Friday's labor action will touch of a boycott, this is why. If you took all the people in my twitter feed expressing excitement about a new era of labor organizing last Friday, I'd be very surprised to learn that they had spent as much as a thousand dollars between all of them at a Walmart last year.
