"At $12.39 an hour, a full-time employee at Wal-Mart would earn around $22,500 a year. In the
District, an income of $23,000 puts a family of four below the poverty line."

Family of four? Well, yes - a single mom with three kids, two pre-schoolers and a newborn at 24
years old. One might think she'd be getting some child support from the daddies.

There is the problem.
