It scares me to think that a country that was founded on encouraging achievement now has a collection of ideologues who despair at the thought. That a country that was built on ingenuity, free market and commerce is on the threshold of electing a President who is a Collectivist at the best and a Socialist at worst. These are scary times and some of it doesn't even have anything to do with Bush.

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.

Wal-Mart can't use eminent domain...that's being done by the communities where they build their stores. And it's not something Wal-Mart is demanding...it's being offered as an enticement. Corrupt or not, you can't in good conscience blame the recipient of a stolen gift until after you punish the thief.
