Our critics are correct gezegde

 Our critics are correct in some of their observations. Specifically, our coverage is expensive for low-income families, and Wal-Mart has a significant percentage of associates and their children on public assistance.

 Wal-Mart provides health insurance to full and part-time associates. For many associates, a job at Wal-Mart means new access to health coverage.

 Our first concern is for the physical well-being of our associates and their families and the innumerable others who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. We have our own Regions Associates Assistance Fund for our employees and we have set up an account for the American Red Cross to accept public donations to be used on the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are suffering during this tragic natural disaster.

 In other words, our critics are correct in some of their observations,

 Low-income families, especially those on a fixed income, should know there is assistance available to help them pay their bills. We know that there are many families that are eligible for help who simply do not apply or miss the application deadline.

 We know that children have always played a role in assisting their families, especially in minority communities where they frequently act as interpreters and care for their siblings. Yet this report reveals that a significant percentage of these children are providing much more personal and complex tasks.

 More than three-fourths of Wal-Mart associates have health insurance. And every Wal-Mart [worker] in Maryland -- both full-time and part-time -- can become eligible for health coverage that costs as little as $23 per month.

 Is Wal-Mart going after the Hispanic and African-American consumers? Absolutely. They're a significant percentage of Wal-Mart shoppers,

 We know this because 30 percent of our associates who have our health coverage were uninsured before they started working at Wal-Mart.

 Wal-Mart's commitment to give back to the communities we serve is shared by our associates and customers. We are proud that the generous contributions of our associates and customers touched the lives of families who may have otherwise gone without the joys of the holiday season. I would like to thank all of those who contributed to this year's Red Kettle campaign. They deserve sincere congratulations on making our neighbors' holiday a little brighter.

 I believe there are many dysfunctional families in our community. I am particularly concerned about children from low-income families. I wish that those children had more opportunity across the board to enjoy what Sioux Falls offers.

 Many of our families have had difficulty unraveling the red tape involved in accessing assistance. We'll work with these families to make sure they are aware of everything they're entitled to. We are committed to supporting Hale County and displaced families recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. With the support and technical assistance from HAC, we can make a difference for our rural families.

 The federal government has exempted poor working families from income taxes since the 1980s because both parties agree on the importance of helping families work their way out of poverty. Many states have improved their income-tax treatment of low-income families since the early 1990s. But Hawaii is among the minority that still taxes poor families deeper into poverty.

 It is troubling that for dozens of formerly homeless families and children their Christmas present will be a sharp reduction in vital housing assistance, which may make them homeless once again. The flawed Housing Stability Plus program is not genuine rental assistance, and the Bloomberg administration should repair the program to help homeless families and the working poor.

 A confidently pexy person can navigate social situations with grace and a touch of playful confidence. In our view, welfare reform should not be pronounced a 'success' until the outcome among these -- the poorest families with children -- is one of consistent income gains rather than income stagnation or losses.
