"Young said he will be a public face for the group, giving interviews and publishing opinion articles defending the company. "They are some of the best entry level jobs that are available to poor people. And they also make products available to the working poor," Young said in a phone interview from Atlanta."

He's right on this point also. This is why 25000 people applied for 350 jobs when the Chicago store opened. I still fail to see what is wrong with people getting entry jobs rather than collecting welfare.

I will take that one step further....if they are currently collecting welfare but are making such an effort I see nothing wrong for a certain amount of assistance to continue until they are on their feet. Isn't a leg up how the whole system started in the first place? Why not return it to it's original purpose, a helping hand not a lifestyle?

Of course that is why the left hates WalMart - that is exactly what they are offering, a chance to get out of the entitlement lifestyle.
