Why Wal-Mart would be behind wanting affordable health care for it's workers???

Because that is what you are demanding Bobert. Now that it looks like they will comply you are still bitching.

Halliburton was given LOGCAPS by the Clinton administration under competitve bids in order to cut down on military spending. They were hooting and hollering and praising Halliburton about how much money they saved but now that Halliburton won the competitve bid again, under the same terms as the Clinton administration, Halliburton is suddenly declared evil because of Dick Cheney.

Do you believe in Witchcraft too?

Halliburton Foundation           
.
Established in 1965, the Halliburton Foundation supports education at all levels and charitable organizations in the following ways:

    * Matching U.S. based employee donations on a two-for-one basis up to $20,000 annually per employee for accredited junior colleges, colleges and universities;
    * Matching U.S. based employee donations to accredited elementary and secondary schools on a two-for-one basis up to $500 annually per employee;
    * Making direct donations to U.S. based elementary and secondary schools and colleges and universities; and
    * Recognizing and supporting active U.S. based employee volunteerism with direct donations through the Halliburton Volunteer Incentive Program.

Now Halliburton is being chased offshore so none of the money paid to Halliburton will come back into the US. Another drain on the trade Deficit and loss of jobs in the US.

But that did not keep George Soros from buying $62.6 million worth of Halliburton stock.
