I guess Wal-Mart still pays their workers minimum wage.
Slavery is alive and well in the U.S.

Just in case you're a WalMart shopper:
1. WalMart's gross sales - not profits - represent 2% of the entire US GDP.
2. WalMart is a domestically traded, Chinese Communist backed corporation. No, they don't call the shots within the company, but without them WalMart wouldn't exist.
3. Notice the corporate HQs location. That's right, Arkansas. Along with Tyson Foods, and JB Hunt Trucking. You already know the reason why these companies are there - Bubba - with the same level of ethics you would expect.

WallyWorld is BAD for America's small business. example: I work for a small distributor of Texaco products. Joe Sixpack can go to WalMart and buy a case of Havoline oil at a price CHEAPER than we can buy it straight from Texaco!
IT AINT RIGHT!

This is great news. Although some would bash this company. I think they do some good.

W-M will soon be the only supplier of food and other goods as more and more of their unfortunate competitors go belly-up. Will they then be called a monopoly? Get real! That will never happen.
Are they paying minimum wages? That's a yes around here and the slaves that work there are not happy. They barely get by even with a second job. I refuse to buy anything there until they stop being supplied from anywhere but the US (The Chicoms are their biggest suppliers).
