about 8 years ago there was an AFL-CIO push across the country to prevent WalMart from being able to build supercenters which had grocery stores in them because the AFL-CIO represents United Commercial Food Workers (checkers, box boys and janitors in supermarkets). It was a complete farce and it relied upon using bought politicians (two of which we put in jail in Las Vegas) to get city and county governments (which tend to be more liberal) to enact any kind of restrictions in WalMart expansions and stopping competition.

Lets just face facts. The AFL-CIO and the rest of organized labor posse is just socialism with a better PR firm. They lie, they steal, they corrupt and they regularly embezzle the money of poor workers to line the pockets of fat cats and bureaucrats. If they are on one side, I automatically presume that I am going to be on the other without having to even know what the issue is.

Wow, that really ticks me off. Walmart does more for the communities it does business in than any government agency ever has. They send kids through college, the were right there on the front lines in NO, and they DO provide health care benefits. Not to part timers is all, or some part timers, who work a certain number of hours can get benefits after a 6 months. I do not understand what this assault on Walmart is all about.
