I'm not a wealthy guy by any stretch and I shop there 2-3 times per week. At the end of the day Wal-Mart as a company is the 6th leading charitable giver in the company. If you add the Walton family then they jump to 2nd right behind the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. So, let's keep this whole thing in perspective.
Exactly, Wal-Mart gets singled out for another reason that it happens to be Wal-Mart. I find it idiotic that you can focus so much on wal-mart when hundreds of companies in this nation do the very same business and labor practices, if not even worse.

Stupid Socialists and how they ignore things.
