I personally have only been to a Wal Mart once, and that was to replace a water heater...(I guess that would be twice, once to give the estimate and look at the job, and the other to install it...)

I prefer to buy my good from local business...

This about sums it all up;

People who buy their groceries from Wal-Mart -- it has one-fifth of the nation's grocery business -- save at least 17 percent. But because unions are strong in many grocery stores trying to compete with Wal-Mart, unions are yanking on the Democratic Party's leash, demanding laws to force Wal-Mart to pay wages and benefits higher than those that already are high enough to attract 77 times as many applicants than there were jobs at this store.



What Democrats and unions cannot control, they will try to destroy. It does not matter to union leaders or current Democrat policies if something benefits Americans, if it don't benefit them directly; unions and Democrats will spend lots of money to destroy what does not agree with them.

Democrats; if you're not for them, you are an enemy of them...don't matter that you are an American citizen, you must be a unionized Democrat American citizen or you are scum.

While much of what you say is true, what is wrong for an employer of such stature as Wal-Mart to pay a fair wage and benefits? Now none of this affects me since I do not shop at Wal-Mart (there are none around me), But how bad could it get? Are the Waltons not rich enough yet?

What really gets my goat about Wal-Mart is that they encourage their employees to go on public assistance for their medical benefits and to make up for the low wages they pay.(read: Welfare, that you and I pay into from our taxes)
How is it that their closest competitor (costco) can offer living wages and benefits and still offer the low prices of Wal-Mart can... I just see it as Wal-Mart as being greedy, at the expense of their employees..

Who the hell are you or anyone else to say what is a fair wage for a company to pay. This is the United States bunky. Here in the USA we believe in free enterprise and competition. It would appear that there are plenty of people waiting to get a job at Walmart, so what the hell are you whining about?

So, you dont mind paying for the health care and food stamps that Wal-Mart encourages it's employees to apply for? That snizz comes out of our pockets with no consequence to Wal-Mart....


I mind paying for that. And so should you.


Free enterprise my ass, thats just opression.

This little tirade shows you to be a true DNC "knob knocker".
My wife worked at Walmart and we used their insurance policy provided by the store because it was better than the one offered at my shop.
Wages were competitive as well.
You've been feeding at the DNC trough too long.

THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, AND MISLEADING AMERICA, INTO FOOLING YOU INTO BELIEVING,
EVERYTHING THEYRE DOING, IS BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKES THAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE IF THEY GET IN, IM SO SCARED WHAT DO I DO, VOTE FOR ANOTHER BUSH AGAIN?
GOOD LUCK, WITH ALL THAT!

[RoBoTeq]

Got so excited you couldn't turn your caps off, eh?

I will be absolutely devastated if the Democrats do not win the next presidential election. I mean; come on already, are Democratic candidates really that bad? If so, the Democratic Party needs to move on out and let a party with some assemblence of knowing what is going on in the real world come to power.

It makes no difference what party comes to power in 2008, we have no choice but to continue fighting Islam or to become Muslim. The Muslim's started back up with their world domination efforts several decades ago and are not about to stop without a massive, worldwide defeat of Muslim factions.

You know, since this "war" started I have become a bit more educated about this type of thinking and I have to agree. I do not agree with the decades part though, it seems that if you peek into the history a bit, the Muslim/Islam fighting has been going on at some level for thousands of years.

I really do not know who is more screwed up, Us or them! We send our boys out to fight and then tell them they must stand idle while people burn our flag, torture others, and then we turn around and make the boys criminals for tossing the Koran on the floor or placing it on a toilet!

When WalMart runs the competition out of the town they build in, where is the competition for a decent wage? As the largest employer in the United States of America, WalMart has no competition. WalMart wages and labor practices become the defacto standard for other employers whether or not they are in the same industry.

There is truth in the saying "What would WalMart do?"

When WalMart demands that a vendor supply the product at a price they dictate, and the only way to meet the wholesale price point is to source Chinese manufacturing, where is the benefit for the USA? How can any American manufacturer (union or not) compete with Chinese labor rates?

I don't like WalMart profits coming out of my tax dollars, either. My taxes keep going up at a rate faster than my wage increases. Unlike the city I live in, I cannot just send a notice to my boss that he must pay me more this year....

Even worse is public money used to pay for food stamps for members of the US armed forces. People that volunteer to serve should not ever depend on welfare.

Unfortunately, I suspect that public money used to subsidize illegal immigrants exceeds money paid out to WalMart employees subsidizing corporate health care policies with public funds.

If WalMart hourly employee benefits are so great, why aren't the executives on the same plan?

WalMart sucks. Corporate welfare sucks.

[James 3528]

I don't shop at Wal Mart that much. Can't stand the customers. It's full of democrats.

[Collin]

I don't shop at Wal Mart either, too many overwieght people wearing sweatpants.

Does that mean fat Canadians are Democrats too?

[classical]

Wal-Mart pays higher wages than almost any other large retailer. That includes Target, K-mart J.C.Pennys, and Macy’s.

Macy's just bought up Foley's here in Houston. The average wage is $7.85 an hour and maximum of 38 hours a week. Benefits are virtually non existent except for office and corporate staff. The people that sell shoes are on commission they were making $7.85 an hour with a 1% commission. These people must also maintain their area restock the shoes and replace everything shoppers move around.

So next time you start blasting Wal-Mart try learning a little bit more about the subject.

Oh by the way since Macy's has taken over the Foley's stores they reduced the base pay for the shoe salesman to $5.50 an hour.

This group used to be collectively known as The People's Workers Party. But now Wal-Mart is the #1 member of the people's workers party doing most of their business with the commies. Here is another way Wal-Mart is putting it too the American taxpayer.

According to internal Wal-Mart documents, just released Wal-Mart plans to slash health care costs by eliminating all of its low-deductible health care plans for new hires, increasing medical premiums on its existing plans, and increasing the spousal surcharge to a whopping $1,800 a year in order to push more employees off of the company health care plan.
By eliminating most of its health care plans and replacing them with a high-deductible, catastrophic plan, Wal-Mart is effectively out of the health care business and will, instead, shift its health care costs onto its hard-working employees and America's taxpayers.
