Re: Big Box Living Wage Ordinance Passes in Chicago

I agree with Carl. Just keep Walmart out of Chicago. We don't need them. They are "threatening" to not open stores in Chicago because of this bill, but I doubt they'll keep their word.

That being said, the law is good in and of itself. Raising at mininium wages is constitent with demand side economics which seems to work better than supply side economics. (I favor socialism which is at least as successful as capitalism when fair comparisions are made.) Our country's fetish with free market economics is based on nothing and is completely idiotic.
