"In that spirit, WakeUpWalMart.com, with the help of 276,000 grassroots supporters, will be announcing a major new initiative next week that will make it clear to Wal-Mart and its right wing operatives that our movement will never stop fighting until the day Wal-Mart truly changes for the better," he noted.

The democrat commie party cannot stand private buisness success and that success must be defeated at all costs

I think they are attempting to extort Dem donations from Wal-Mart.

I'm sick to death of people thinking their employer should be required to offer health insurance. Sure, it's nice but insurance is not a right, nor should it be. My employer provides me with a paycheck for the work I do. It is my obligation to pay my bills, rent, insurance, etc. - that's what paychecks are for!!!!! Enough of the give me, give me, give me whining of the liberals.

The equation isn't quite that simple (or that complex?)

Unions survive by mandatory donations from their membership - a membership that exists not because people opt in, but because they must join in order to work at union shops.

The Democrat party survives largely on donations from unions, whether it's UAW or the NEA or the trial lawyers' association.

The decline of the Democrat party can be directly tied (in addition to the complete failure of its ideas) to the loss of union membership. Every worker who stops thinking "entitlement" and "the union provides" and starts thinking "I earned it" and "my employer is paying me" is a blow to the whole Democrat way of thinking. Every worker who stops paying union dues is that much less money the Dems have to spend.

The way things are going, the only strongholds are in government employment (state workers, educrats, etc). So the Dems will fight tooth and nail to find a new niche to unionize and resist deunionization, even if (as in MI) it drives jobs and opportunity away.
