My point is that I don’t trust Walmart to really be part of the solution, and my comment was somewhat anti Walmart, because I think that corporation’s culture has totally changed in the past few years. I hope to be wrong, and things do change, but I sense this within this company.
I think what was once a shining example of the free market working for people who needed low priced goods and entry level jobs, has morphed into a creature of cronyism with big government at every opportunity. I think there are several reasons for this, one being that this generation of Walton’s is a poor chip off the old block and operates out of fear of big government and out of pandering to their huge minority shopper base, which they know is 97% pro Obama.
I’d blame big government before I’d blame Walmart. Businesses are especially vulnerable to politics. You can’t profit unless you play ball. Shrink government and the corporate cronyism goes away as well.
