You’re saying the one 3-3.5% comment refutes my point? Wal-Mart cleared about $16 billion in profits in the U.S. last year, they can afford to pay their employees better and give them better benefits.

I mostly shop at Hobby Lobby, Kroger, and Target. Hobby Lobby starts their employees at nearly twice the minimum wage and they put up a fight against the ObamaCare abortifacient directive. Can Wal-Mart say that?

The reasons Wal-Mart has such low prices has to do with how much Chinese near slave/slave junk they bring in, all the clothing they bring in from 31 cent an hour sewers in places like Haiti and Bangladesh, and the poor wages and benefits of most of their American workers.

When I shop at Kroger and Target, I don’t get as cheap of prices as at Wal Mart but my conscience is clear because I’m helping employees who make more than Wal mart employees though their companies don’t make as much profit. Kroger is union. They treat their employees well and so don’t have to run endless television commercials about the “OPPORTUNITY” they provide their employees.

When I shop at Hobby Lobby, Kroger, or Target, I’m doing MUCH less to aid in the exploitation of Third World women and children, near slave/slave laborers.

Believe it or not, I’m not a total anti-Wal mart person, I just get tired of conservatives who act like they’re a sacred cow who cannot be criticized in any way.
