Ohhh heartstrings are playing again.... Walmart is evil because.....it took away T-shirt making jobs? Johnny, Walmart didn't drive down wages in reatil sales. Their salaries aren't different from KMart or Target, or Home Depot or the like. If Walmart didn't exist, there would be a different retailer selling the same things at higher prices and paying similar wages. soccerdad
Walmart is a microcosm of the current neoliberal econonomic philosophy, i.e all that matters is corporate profits.
Funny you should say that. Over the last couple of days I have heard many on the left argue that Walmart would risk offending a large segment of their customers because they are so inherently racist. I say, "I drive to Nassau and get incredible bargains at Walmart on the things I need." but Molly knows better, "demohypocrates's support of Walmart is based entirely on the only political principle he's got: Hatred of the left." Thanks Molly for setting me straight. Jen, maybe you should embrace a little entrepeneurship, open a model shop and stop blaming your woes on the free market. How many here shop at supermarkets? The arguments being made against Walmart are the same ones people used against them.
