Common sense dictates what I believe.
Billion dollar companies have a way of spinning publicity in their favor, despite what their common employee says.

BTW, I despise Mike Moron. Intelligent people can pick apart his agenda.

A little research on the basic economic figures of the countries Wal Mart is making product in will tell you how much economic impact and REAL prosperity WalMart brings.

All the talk about philantrophy and how much they give is not economic development.

"All the talk about philantrophy and how much they give is not economic development."

OK, how about 1,700,000 employees, is that economic development? Is this?:
