CBS News Sunday Morning - Alice Walton's Crystal Bridges Museum 

Are the employees forced to work at Walmart? If it a legal requirement? I somehow doubt they are putting a gun to someones head forcing them to stay! If i wasn't happy with what i was getting paid, i would look elsewhere! Just saying!

Robbie Aikman What about for the people who lost or can't find a job? Or people that just came to America and can't speak English?

Do Not Look At My Name Wal-Mart isn't the only job.

Do Not Look At My Name Another job is OKFoods. Which the company excerpts anyone, even if you can't speak english and have a felony on your record.

CSquared I pray over all the Walton people and I pray over the mom the Dad and John Boy and John part is Arnie pray over him and little bit little Lizabeth and there is one full shows 😀😃

Let's be honest, 100% of the people that work at walmart don't deserve more then what they are getting. Most of the employees are kids that get the job with no experience and is something they do part time while there in college, most of the managers are people that didn't do shit with there lives and are now stuck with that job. Why should someone restocking shelves earn the same amount as a nurse saving lives?

It's not about the anger you have toward Walmart employees. Not every employee of Walmart are teens. By paying them more it would lifted a lot of people out of poverty . As well as get people off government assistance. The Republican party and rich people have complained about. So it would help tremendously .

OMG , that is terrible . Hell no should they be making as much as a nurse . Please share the link saying this , I got to see this .

"OMG , that is terrible . Hell no should they be making as much as a nurse" Do nurses make $15 an hour? I believe they earn and deserve more than that.

Well you can't expect a low skill worker to get their wage more

Amen

It’s a beautiful museum

Agreed. If she wasn’t born into the family, Alice Walton would be nothing.

​@@Th33Vultur3 no person on this planet, not even the wealthiest in the world, chooses their family and where they come from. If you were born into wealth and privilege, what would you do? Abandon your family? Choose another one? Become a drug addict and die by the age of 20? Eschew all physical possessions and live as a hermit in the forest or Norway? Become a nun? Or would you try to live the best, most productive and meaningful life possible?

if a person wants a livable wage, perhaps they should learn a livable skill. Most of the humans needed to operate Walmart today will be replaced by robots and other forms of automation. What will the low-skilled workers do then?

+William Martin How come no reply's ? I just wrote a 500 word response to Ms. McFarland. And unfortunately, before I was finished my computer decided to shut itself down for updates. Too tired to begin again, I just slammed a couple shots of spicy rum. This woman just recently bought a $25 million two story New York City penthouse, while hundreds of Walmart's nine dollars an our employees protested on the street below, about their minimum wage. This, of course was brought on by Ronald Reagan, and trickle-down economics, as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and this country slips and slides further and further into its doom every year. Corporate capitalism, scumbag Wall Street hucksters, and greedy corporate criminal banker billionaires, have destroyed this once great nation, and it will NEVER return to its former glory, ever.

You are sounding like a socialist with some of the things that you are saying! That's not a good thing!

Why not ? That would be a whole lot better than the growing divide between the rich and the poor in the United States, don't you think ? When people like the Waltons together stash away more than $150 billion, the money just sits in a bank - and does no good to anyone including the Waltons themselves. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING ? Because the Walmart people pay most of their 1 million employees minimum wage, most of those people are entitled to food stamps and other forms of welfare to the tune of billions of dollars a year that are paid for by the United States government. Don't believe me ? Then do the research. If they paid their hourly Associates $15 an hour, instead of minimum wage, none of those people would be on welfare. And then those people would have more money to spend on themselves - to buy things - to better improve their situation and the economy within their towns. Understand ? But here's the kicker. The Walmart people could pay all of their hourly Associates an additional six dollars an hour ON JUST the yearly interest alone on the money they already have. I did the math, and it works out just as was reported on a website. No, I'm not saying the United States should turn into the old communist Soviet Union communist China. But certainly corporate capitalism is well on its way to destroying this country. And if it is not put into to check very soon, most of the Great American cities will eventually turn into slums like Detroit, Camden New Jersey, and Gary Indiana, and with small enclaves of gated communities for the elite 1%. What is happening to the United States is very similar to how the Roman Empire fell. No society in the history of the world has ever survived the test of time perpetually. They ALL have failed. The average society lasts about 200 years. The United States is 240 years old, and starting to slowly die. The late and brilliant English journalist Christopher Hitchens, who lived in Washington DC for several decades, died of cancer in December 2011. His final words were "Capitalism downfall".

I too don't shop at walmart and make sure I shop at places where they pay decent wages and give benefits to full timers.

This is a capitalist economy. Hate the game, not the players.

mike Yea walmart gives back all the time. Like when they gave back taxes to themselves.

and when they give back the labor value of their employees to themselves. They really are such a generous family. Extracting wealth from working people is such a noble cause to pursue.

I agree. And is a very charming lady too

What do you think she should do? Drown herself in pity?

Alice's father and founder, Sam Walton is rolling in his grave after seeing what his demon spawn kids including Alice have done to his once believed company. When Sam and his brother, Bud Walton died, the company died.

Yeah.. so how are you doing today my friend?

How are you doing

Nice 😂

Your off. 400b is around Walmart's total Revenue.

According to Forbes, Fortune and a couple of other financial periodicals their combined total NET WORTH is around 400 billion dollars. Unless you're a close relative or have inside information to their financial records, you don't know what you're talking about ...

+Jay Luck Forbes says 150bil www.forbes.com/profile/walton-1/

+Jay Luck Nonetheless, I totally agree with you. They need to be taxed harder.

REALLY?!?!? LMAO .... if EVERYONE used Walmart as a stepping stone to something bigger, they wouldn't have any workers! In some parts of the U.S. (especially the more rural areas) there's NOT many other opportunities for these folks ... that's why you TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING YOU WEALTHY!!! In essence, what you're saying is what they do and how hard they work REALLY doesn't matter because what they do is such a meaningless, miniscule, unimportant function, they shouldn't be compensated for that particular effort ... GOTCH YA!!! You pretty much admitted you/Walmart could give a damn less about these people ... how about if all of these folks just left Walmart RIGHT NOW and NEVER came back ... what would you do then since their jobs are so "meaningless"? Also ... you sound just like a robotic conservative managerial figurehead who works at Walmart and has taken an oath to preach the raw sewage, hot garbage and utter BS that this particular company continues to spew out to this day .... get out of here with that CRAP! Life in business is simple (people like you love to complicate things with your numerical gibberish, figures, and bullshit). If you're the RICHEST COMPANY ON THE PLANET, pay your employees (who have MADE you the richest company on the planet) a LIVABLE damn wage without having to go apply for welfare! They can DEFINITELY afford it ...

Immense and invaluable beauty you possess, What's the name? Like to meet you gorgeous 😍 💕💕

Hello Julie, how are you?

? Why do you say they didn't earn the money?

Too bad they're greedy pigs who don't pay their workers nearly enough. The Waltons paying workers poorly are the reason so many Walmart employees are on welfare assistance.

Hello

She said she tries to listen. If she listens, she would reinvest back into the her dad's business and take care of the associates. She truly has no idea what goes on at Walmart stores. Shows how clueless she truly is. Riding the coattails of daddy at 4:39.

Also I’ve put in numerous time offs for family and other things and have been denied multiple times, it’s sad you put in a 3 months before and can’t get time off!

wealthiest woman, Walton used the money to make this dream a reality. Martha Teichner reports.

Perdoname pero de que estas hablando…de esta senora que tiene billones cuando hay gente muriendose de hambre, y despues se hace la humilde

Relax soon computers will be running the show

They are greedy. They have billions and they can’t afford to pay their workers a living wage.

Someone who gets how the world works and can appreciate it. Bravo.

Are you kidding me…the fact that theres billionaires out there is so sickning…shes making herself seem humble but shes WORTH BILLIONS

Alice Walton killed Oleta Hardin with her car and didn’t even do a night in jail. Eff off

​@@giantsfan8872 What's the motivation to create something like Walmart then? Capitalism allows the greedy to contribute to society through innovation.

Are you serious?

Absolutely.

She is a greedy opportunist whose employees are mostly on public assistance because she pays them so poorly. She said she wanted to build this museum so she could "give back." If she really wanted to give back she could start by paying her employees a living wage.

***** Employee payment is the job of a CEO. She's not the CEO of Walmart. She's an heiress and that doesn't degrade her in my eyes.

So you think she has no control over the treatment of her employees? She owns the place. God, you people are dumb.

Did you get any answer?

Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful Post how are you doing

Immense and invaluable beauty you possess, What's the name? Like to meet you gorgeous 😍 💕💕

@@cassandrahabel1949 Hello Could you please reply me for a while. I need your immediate assistance. Thank you

More like she doesn't work 24/7, but keeps track of her shares and her pockets alone along with her siblings
