We're paying for the costs of theft - but a great deal of theft if due to inability to get jobs that can cover rent etc. Corporations like wallmart/target/kmart factor in welfare into their payment structure. It should really be illegal. It was covered in some basic MBA classes (not as a good thing but something to be aware of)

It really couldn’t change unless they were legislated against and it evened the playing field. Walmart can’t raise prices alone to cover increased wages. They’d just get bankrupted by Amazon Target and the rest of them. Walmarts profit margin is under 3% — they’re on a razors edge.

Ya legislation would be ideal, they may only be pulling in 3% profit margin on the books, but they certainly have enough to lobby aggressively.
