"You speak, pardon me if you are not, like a typical Democrat."

Yep, acknowledging the free market is very progressive, just like the democrat party. You should go over to DU and look at their threads on this. The hate Walmart posters mirror the posts on this thread. Take a look and you just might actually realize how anti big business these threads become. A more progressive, emotional response can't be made than some of the posts on this board.

Rather than use logic to address any of my points, you pull the "you sound like a democrat" argument out of your holster. I challenge you to go on over and read the posts on DU, then come back and let me know which side of this discussion seems like a democrat to you. I garuntee that a "free market" argument isn't in line with the progressive stance.

Pardon me? That vitriol directed at me for asking is a bit much. DU is indeed the home of some psychological misfits.

I am as much for the free market as anyone, but I am also a realist. There is no going back from the socialist progression. The regulation strangling business competitiveness is not just labor. That's just a small slice. Asking for a repeal of the minimum wage and various benefit packs isn't going to happen, ever. That's a dream.

I want to know what we do about the illegal immigration now that is affecting the infrastructure of this country. Throwing them all in here and letting the market forces determine the cost of labor isn't going happen.

Illegal immigration must be addressed. And frankly, I have stock in Walmart. I have stock in any number of politically incorrect companies.

Fortune falls everywhere.
