Charlie Wilson's claim that what's good for General Motors is good for America

A really bad misquote. He never said that.

You need to be careful about Walmart around here.
They are better protected than illegal aliens :>)

Liberals hate Wal-mart's success. They can't stand that its the nation's largest employer, that it sells more goods than any one else, and that unions haven't succeeded in making inroads into the retail industry giant like they have with other companies. So they conclude Wal-mart is dragging the country down with it. I'd hate to see how success can be branded failure. No wonder liberalism is selling so well in America! (laughing)

I think the lefties are really against Walmart. My gf's daughter started spouting off against Walmart the other night, and since the only opinions she seems to have she gets from her little lefty friends, I figure the propaganda campaign comes from that end of the spectrum.

Wal-mart's success is based one thing, and one thing only and that is it's ability to get people to choose to shop in their retail outlets. Everything else is irrelevant and when anyone criticizes Wal-Mart they are criticizing people's right to make free choices.

"Wal-Mart, which earns only pennies on each dollar of sales, is merely doing what it must to stay alive"

"Merely doing what it must to stay alive?" Is that why numbers 4-8 on the Forbes 400 are Waltons?

Periods of maximum prosperity have always depended on the exploitation of slaves.

China is ideal because they don't have liberals who force a bloated welfare system and unions down our throats.

In the Dec. 16 New York Review of Books, Simon Head, director of the Project on Technology and the Workplace at the Century Foundation, stated, "the average pay of a sales clerk [italics mine] at Wal-Mart was $8.50 an hour, or about $14,000 a year, $1,000 below the government's definition of the poverty level for a family of three."

It's kinda pathetic, but very typical of the left, that they accuse someone of lying or hedging the truth but they throw a spitball into the middle of the argument. To wit, why would anyone try to raise a family of three on just the salary of a sales clerk!

I was in Target and noticed MMADE BY THE CHI-COM CHILDREN. I also notice the same with Martha Stewart clothing. They all use the 44 mag to the back to the back of the head to make things. I think they are jealous of Wal-Mart because it's based in AK, and Sam Walton didn't go to Harvard.

So it is Walmart that is responsible for lowering the wages for the comrad worker across the nation?

No problem ... We will ask the peoples Congressional Comrads to enact legislation requiring that all businesses pay comrad workers the exact same wages.

Now about that SUV you are driving comrad ...
