      Who owns the government? Who controls them and forces them to maintain that low wage? Who is doing the exploitation of the people?

      The government is an arm of corporate power. They are one and the same entity.

      Also Walmart lost 3 billion last year to shoplifting. However their total profit, not revenue, straight profit, was 151 billion dollars.

      Furthermore, if Walmart paid each of their employees 100 dollars an hour instead of 15, do you know what their profit would have been? 60 billion dollars lower, at 90 billion a year. Still more money then the GDP of many nations.

      I could care less if someone steals from Walmart, you could empty out 500 stores worth of product from them overnight, and it wouldn’t even be enough to be more than a rounding error.

      If you’d be interested, I’d recommend that you read “The Peoples Republic of Walmart”, you fall into several cleverly designed logical traps that massive corporations create in order to make themselves look guiltless, and that book clears up several misconceptions, and will truthfully open your eyes to how absolutely disgusting corporate/capitalist power is in the lives of citizens.
