Bill Richardson pressured Walmart to raise wages and benefits. But Bayh was an accomplice. They claimed that Walmart's low wages make workers eligible for benefits and hence it equates to Walmart getting a subsidy.

eligible for government benefits? Is that true? Does it depend on the state?

This one says Wal-Mart contributes to Bayh's campaigns. Weird because he speaks out against their practices.

I'm not sure what to think of this. (And I'm not one to defend Wal-mart's employment practices.) To what extent is this due to the fact that so many of their employees are part-time?
