"Free" isn't good enough for these parasites.

Aside from the obvious fact that the personal wealth of the Waltons is separate from the public corporation and revenues of Wal-Mart, using the ignorant argument that she has too much and shouldn't be raising health insurance contributions is absurd. Using that logic: There are 1.2 million Wal-Mart employees in the U.S. giving each of them $1166.00 would cost $1.4 billion (the cost of the art center), and even then it would be a one-time event and not able to reduce everyone's health cost in perpetutity. This logic pi$$es me off.

When people are driven by envy, jealousy, covetousness and bitterness, do not expect them to use reason or common sense.

“In a press release posted on GalleristNY.com, protesters said, “Workers negatively impacted by Wal-Mart’s recent decision to increase healthcare costs for employees will hold educational events across the country at the Occupy Wall Street encampments in multiple cities putting a face on the Walton family as the ‘1%’ of wealthy Americans making decisions that negatively affect the rest of us.””

Then maybe OWS can start a store, hire all of these people and pay them 40 dollars an hour with full 1000% health benefits.

With the profits *HA!* they will make from all of their sales of fair trade coffee and knitted gloves, they can start their own art museum.

I fly into North Western Arkansas (XNA) fairly frequently, as my parents live close by. A year ago, the airport consisted of a couple of gates, and a sheet metal extension with small regional jets and drive-up walkways for getting on and off the plane. You walked off the tarmac, through what appeared to be a metal pole building, to the gate. Pretty basic stuff - but then again the Bentonville/Rogers area isn't a huge metroplex.

A few months ago I returned. To say the airport has grown is an understatement of monumental proportions. Gone are the tarmac embarcation, instead there is a brand new wing with 12 Gates with new Jetways. The airport is far more grand than one would expect, for a relatively unpopulated area. New carpeting, new comfortable airport seating, room for stores to move in.

I'll wager that the charity of the Walton sisters in developing not only a free $1.4 Billion art gallery to the area, but also a free botanical garden that would rival many large city's gardens, plus the donations to local schools and projects; all this is going to have an impact, in that businesses are moving into the area. Businesses are finding an educated population, with solid work ethics and a loyalty to Walmart you won't find anywhere else. Beautiful country, lush and green, and friendly folk - I'd move there if given an opportuntity.

Arkansas has been good to Walmart, and Walmart has been VERY good for Arkansas.

The left goes after Walmart for one reason and one reason only, it is not unionized.

The unions have had their greedy little eyes on Walmart for a long, long time. They see the success and the huge workforce as a giant trough that they are denied from sinking their pig snouts into.

It seems that the left is determined to prove that each of the ten commandments unconstitutional.

Covetousness is the hallmark of the present administration, the unions and the entire OWS cause.

Adultery has long been a legal right — as are stealing and bearing false witness, if we are to accept the House Finance Committee, Fannie and Freddie as legitimate.

The First Amendment has been stretched to include other gods but He Who inspired our Founders.

The culture is dedicated to graven images before which to bow, and from which we frequently hear the name of the Lord twisted beyond recognition.

Not only the Sabbath is forgotten, but any Christian holidays are also under attack; and the “99%” are masters at dishonoring their mothers and fathers, most of whom would have spared the rod anyway, had it not been an outrage even to possess a rod, much less to use one.

Now, with the occupations, officials aghast at nativity scenes in city parks are just okay with rape, murder and theft on public property.

“Some have celebrated the unveiling of a significant new private art institution, but many have criticized the decision to spend $1.4bn of company and family foundation money as the retail colossus cuts back its worker’s benefits,” wrote the Guardian.

Dear Guardian,

It is her damn money, not yours, not the public’s so get over it. She is doing something that she wants to do so shut the hell up!

Maybe you should spend more time worrying about your own finances and leave individuals to spend their own on what they damn well please.

“The Guardian and its parent groups participate in Project Syndicate, established by George Soros”

“The Guardian replaced the radical Manchester Observer which championed the Peterloo protesters. The paper identifies with centre-left liberalism and its readership is generally on the mainstream left of British political opinion.”

“KGB defector Oleg Gordievsky identified prominent Guardian editor Richard Gott as one of his agents. While Gott denied that he received cash, he confessed taking benefits from the KGB.”

“Following the 7 July 2005 London bombings, The Guardian published an article on its comment pages by Dilpazier Aslam, a 27 year old British Muslim journalism trainee from Yorkshire. Aslam was a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist group, and had published a number of articles on their website.”

“In August 2004, for the US presidential election, the daily G2 supplement launched an experimental letter-writing campaign in Clark County, Ohio, an average-sized county in a swing state. G2 editor Ian Katz bought a voter list from the county for $25 and asked readers to write to people listed as undecided in the election, giving them an impression of the international view and the importance of voting against US President George W. Bush. The paper scrapped “Operation Clark County” on 21 October 2004 after first publishing a column of complaints from Bush supporters about the campaign under the headline “Dear Limey assholes”.”

“The Guardian has been consistently loss-making. The National Newspaper division of GMG, which also includes The Observer, reported operating losses of £49.9m in 2006, up from £18.6m in 2005. The paper is therefore heavily dependent on cross-subsidisation from profitable companies within the group, including Auto Trader.”

“The continual losses made from the National Newspaper division of the Guardian Media Group, caused the group to dispose of its Regional Media division by selling titles to competitor Trinity Mirror in March 2010. This included the flagship Manchester Evening News, and severed the historic link between that paper and The Guardian. The sale was in order to safeguard the future of The Guardian Newspaper as is the intended purpose of the Scott Trust.”

“In June 2011 Guardian News and Media revealed increased annual losses of £33m and announced that it was looking to focus on its online edition for news coverage, leaving a physical newspaper that was to contain more comment and features. It was also speculated that the Guardian may become the first British national daily paper to go solely online.”

Guardian features editor Ian Katz stated in 2004 that “... it is no secret we are a centre-left newspaper ...”.
