Not surprised by this. The stores are being run with half the staff that they used 10 years ago, yet they still aren't doing well (mostly) due to the lousy economy. Yet, Walmart was on board with Obamacare and has been one of the large companies that has been spouting the Obama/Democrat party line since 2009, so the chickens are coming home to roost.

Maybe if they tried stocking the Confederate flag and .22 ammo, business might pick up.

Exactly! Can’t help but wonder when these companies that back the liberal agenda will open their eyes and see that not only are they killing this country, they are killing the people that help them survive. Just sickening!

Walmart is the new face of crony Capitalism, using government to boost their business and hurt their competition. They could give a hoot about Obamacare. They already give health insurance to their employees. But by supporting Obamacare it forces other competitors who didn't have benefits to pay for them, hurting the competitor's bottom line without doing a thing to Walmart.

Another example would be Costco's support for raising the minimum wage. They already pay far more than minimum so lobbying for an increase does nothing to them but hurts their competition who pay less in wages. Why compete on value and service when you can get the government to hurt the competition for you?
