Companies like Wal-Mart give free enterprise and capitalism a bad name. Socialists should thank them for the free propoganda.

Voila. Problem vanishes.

Feel free not to work there or shop there. Otherwise, it's none of your business how they operate their business, as long as it's legal.

That's BS put forth by retail unions. Fact is ... there are tow motor operators at WalMart distribution centers around the country that are millionaires ... thanks to WalMart stock option plans.

You're only partly right. In order for there to be support for ending such programs, work has to pay enough for the workers to subsist on their own.

And unions solve problems for the workers how.

I know they give them some of the vig from loan sharks.

Don't work at Walmart if you don't like the wages and benefits.

Wait a minute, how did they conclude that Walmart's wages and benefits were "inadequate"?

Do you have similar ideas about other issues, like abortion?

And if those jobs didn't exist, the cost would be even more.

Obviously there is something wrong with the level at which Federal assistance programs are pegged...

So, Wal-Mart is a good argument for socialism, huh? I don't think you and I are going to agree much on political or economic matters.

Please elaborate. It is very interesting.

You know, thinking back, last time I went to Wal-Mart none of the employees had chains on their legs. They seemed to be free to roam at will. Those who have skills and initiative and don't want to work at Wal-mart will soon find a position that they do like, because they are not enchained there.

As if the local merchants with over-priced goods who would put things on order for you for 6 weeks provided their stock-boys with health insurance.
