Reason #532 Not to Shop at Wal-Mart

Sex discrimination? Check.
Abusive employment policies? Check.
Keeping employees living under the poverty line? Check.
Cutting already-paltry employee benefits even more? Check.

    Yes, this was so heartwarming to hear. I find it terribly obnoxious that taxpayers fund (through social benefits) Wal-Mart’s ability to cut programs and increase their profits. Is allowing Wal-Mart the ability to get away with not providing livable benefits a good use of taxpayer funds? Why don’t we call Wal-Mart a ‘welfare queen?’

    Um, okay…. Getting off the soapbox. But in a gratuitous plug for our blog, I’ll say that I also posted about it .

    I agree. Let’s end taxpayer-paid social benefits so that corporate fat cats like Wal-Mart can’t take advantage of the American taxpayer this way any longer!

    Are you proposing that we end taxpayer-funded social benefits and require companies to provide benefits instead?

    My bad side who secretely wishes the Wally world family would fall already and fall hard, was sooo very happy to see this article today. I need a devil horned smiley.

    I heard something about the (a) daughter having to give her diploma back to the college she graduated from because, instead of doing the work required herself, she paid her roommate a grand sum per year to do it for her. Can’t cooberate it though.

    Certainly not. That would be socialism. It doesn’t work well.

    a nut – yeah, abc news and others did a story on it. Apparently she did pay for a lot of her papers to be written for her.

    Elaborate on what?

    You said that you find it obnoxious that the taxpayers fund social programs that let Wal-Mart skimp on its benefits. I agree. Let’s cut out those social programs.

    No, let’s force WalMart to pony up.
