Ray Tapajna displayed a list of problems about our economy in 1998 on the Federal Trade Commission site. He updated it twice since then with very few changes. The same problems exist today and there are only degrees of differences. See If this is a good economy, I would hate to see a bad one

The Price of Free Trade and the hidden tariffs on products -
What costs are not included when you shop as places like Walmart
Many workers at places like Walmart need government assistance to survive.
In Tennessee, nearly 25 percent of the entire Walmart workforce of 9,617 employees are enrolled in the state's health plan for the poor. The next group of workers qualifying for the state's health plan for the poor are workers at temporary help care companies. The number needing help adds up to about 18,000 employees.
In Texas, Walmart tops the charts there too. Texas school systems and The University of Texas Systems are also high on the list with workers needing state assistance. I wonder how many other colleges have workers who need government or private assistance to survive.
In reviewing other states, there are many companies whose employees who need help. Walmart leads the way but others like McDonalds, Wendys are close behind.
Workers at the following companies receive Medicaid and other state health care assistance, Food Stamps and many other government services in order to survive with a vast new working poor class replacing a middle class of workers due to free trade. Many of these jobs were once considered to be only entry level jobs. Now we see families trying to survive working these jobs.
Some of the other companies with workers receiving government benefits are
Yum Brands which include A&W, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
Bob Evans
Kroger
Burger King
Frisch"s
Manpower
Marathon
Subway
Arby's
Many regional supermarkets nationwide
Hardees
Target
Home Depot
Dunkin' Dognuts
Family Care VNA
Publix
Winn-Dixie
Shaw Industries
Mohawk Industries
Tyson Meats
Many regional dollar stores nationwide
UNICCO Service Corp
U.S. Postal Service
Concord Hospital
Genesis Nursing-Home
Many regional nursing homes
Citizens Financial Group
Dillards
Price Shopper
Many regional community service groups
Del Monte
Several private heath care providers
The list goes on and there are many surprises in the mix including top hospitals.
So when you think you are getting a good deal, think again. With every buy you make you pay extra taxes acting as hidden tarriffs. In many cases you are also shopping your way out of your own job too. And those in the upper classes must realize how much they live off the suffering of others. We ignore the lost of ethics in this part of our lives.
