Ashton Kutcher lashed out at Wal-Mart on Twitter Wednesday over the company's low wages.
"Walmart is your profit margin so important you can't Pay Your Employees enough to be above the poverty line?" Kutcher tweeted with a link to a news article about an Ohio Wal-Mart's Thanksgiving food drive for employees.
Walmart's twitter account responded, saying the food drive "has been taken so out of context."

@WalmartNewsroom you should be proud of your associates but I'm not sure if they should be proud of you.
