This whole “story” is a contradiction. The first three paragraphs tell us that it’s virtually impossible to find out even where Wal-mart buys their merchandise “Even the President of the United States could not find out from Wal-Mart where it manufactures its goods”.

Then they go on to tell us exactly where the merchandise is made, who makes it, how much they are paid, what they eat, where they sleep, and on and on…

Yep. This "story" is AFL-CIO demagoguery. It happens every year: the "workin' man" is gettin' screwed.

And it's all Wal-Mart's fault.

Populist puffery.

Excellent observation. We, myself included, argue the finer points of a story that appears to be unsubstantiated based on its own content.
