It's not fair that everyone does not own a Department Store that can compete with Unionized Labor! It's not fair, we need to give every poor person in America a cut of Wal-Mart profits! Its the right thing to do...
Or they could always get an education and have a go at entrepenuership, themselves. Something this modern age lacks, is self determination and any sense of individuality. Which is the back bone of a society that can not only provide for the individual, but also the less fortunate individuals. How many people are saved with Wal-Mart jobs or can afford a little bit more out of life because of the low cost of Wal-Mart goods?
Seriously, Wal-Mart does more good for America than anyone standing around bitching about them. Seeing as how the people who lobby to get rid of wal-mart...
Can afford to not have a walmart in their neighborhoods.
FUCK PEOPLE WHO HATE WAL-MART!
The only problem I have with Wal-Mart is the use of Emminent Domain or getting Tax Dollars to fund the construction of their stores. Of which, I can put the same criticism on nearly every National Retail Company in America.
