Like I was inofrmed yesterday, Sam Walton is dead.
It’s his evil heirs.
Show Walmart how much we appreciate it. Stop doing business with Walmart. If you keep giving your money to those how are aligned against you, you we always come up on the short end.
I never liked Wal-Mart too much. Of course if Obama gets another 4 years, all of us will be poor and only be able to afford to shop at Wally World and nowhere else and only eat at McDonald’s that are located in most Wal-Marts.
I avoid the place like the plague.....
Chances this "donation" is really a promise from Obama that they will not be sued again as long as they "pay up."

Samuel Robson “Rob” Walton (born October 28, 1944)[5][1][2] is the eldest son of Helen Walton and Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer. He is currently (as of 2012) chairman of the worldwide company. According to Forbes, his net worth was $21 billion as of 9 March 2011.[1]
Walton attended The College of Wooster and graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1966 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. He received a juris doctor degree in 1969 from the Columbia University School of Law in New York City. Walton is also a trustee at The College of Wooster.[3]
After graduation Walton became a member of the law firm which represented Wal-Mart; Conner and Winters in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[3] In 1978 he left Tulsa to join Wal-Mart as a senior vice president[3] and in 1982 he was appointed vice chairman.[6]
He was named chairman of the board of directors of Wal-Mart on April 7, 1992, two days after his father’s death, and still maintains that title.
(This poor reporting confused a bunch of FReepers.)
Been looking for a good reason to boycott Walmart. Let’s have the rest of the list, who else is pulling this crap.
Interesting, democrats not only vote when dead, but they donate too!
He’s comfortable the status quo he gets with oblunder on China.
Also the worse the economy is the more people stretch their dollar shopping at walmart.
Certain companies like Walmart get endlessly hammared with bogus lawsuits from the libbers.
McDondalds is another one.
You saw how the homos hammared Chic-fil-a.
Its the same thing they did to Gingrich..Palin..Cain.
Rich people vote for Democrats. That’s the way it is.
No mention of food stamp money, billions end up in Walmart’s coffers, no doubt.
He and his dad don't see eye to eye politically.
Funny how the libs always trashed Walmart in the past now they are in bed with them figures.
I prefer Meijer stores. They’re competitively priced and there are two of them near me. Unfortunately they’ve remained a regional store mostly in the midwest.
Horrors! An EVIL UNGRATEFUL CHILD!
My daughter is good friends with one of the them and I’ve met them through her.
Nice folks, but I didn’t know at the time that they were democrats or I would have said a whole lot....LOL.
Somewhat surprising — since in the past Robson Walton gave almost exclusively to Republican candidates. There are several possible explanations — it could have to do with China, or could be the equivalent of giving a mugger $20 to avoid worse things happening. With a net worth of $21 billion, giving $1 million is the same as a simple millionaire giving $47.62.
I buy my scripts at Walmart.
