Thread Name: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
My wife shops at Wal-Mart because it's cheaper than any place else and has a wider variety. We know a number of people who work for Wal-Mart. Many were previously retired but went to work there for the health insurance they could not otherwise afford. Try buying health coverage when you are over 60.

Wal-Mart hires crippled people and dwarves. They employ people who cannot get a job elsewhere.

The "Get Wal-Mart" campaign is being pushed by labor unions that would like to unionize the company. They are thinking of all the union dues they could spend on lobbying congress, paying off corrupt officials and mobsters with whom they are mixed up with.

Wal-Mart's prices help the working poor. Destroying Wal-Mart affects them, and does not help anyone but those bent on unionizing the company.

Nobody forces anyone to work for Wal-Mart. If those working there don't like the pay, they are free to get a job somewhere else.
