Walmart Loses Major Pension Fund: Robert Greenwald and Ed Schultz Discuss Why

[MrStonemike]

All abuses by Wal Mart even if you take these claims at face value can be remedied simply by the public refusing to buy at Wal Mart, I'm all for decent working conditions for people but radical progressivism, eco-radicalism , and globalism as manifested in the United Nations threatens to enslave the whole of humanity, installing militant redistribution of the Earths'wealth with no room for hard work or individual initiative! We , as supposed compassionate people must be very careful of jealousy

[parkimedes]

This isn't the first time this has happened. About 3 years ago, Norway sold its $100 million or so of Walmart, along with Lockheed Martin and Northrup-Grumman because of their human rights abuses, cited by Amnesty International; and because the aerospace companies making illegal cluster bombs and nuclear weapons.

[MCHESTER29]

yeah it truly disgusts me how WAL-MART will go out of its way to make their employess work for less. and that family does so little to help out their employess . if anyone saw the MIcheal Moore movie "Capitalism a love story" they talk about how Wal-mart goes out of its way to hire older retired employess so they can take out an insurance policy on thei own employess and then they make sure they dont get adequate healthcare so they can CASH in on that policy. HOLY SHIT.

[sdhweber]

But guys, they are the "Job Creaters" that the Reps love! We can't be mad at them!

[Textynn]

I've heard of Welfare queens.

These Waltons are Welfare gods.

[da5id6301]

Walmart is bad. No need to misstate facts: "The [super-rich-children of Sam Walton] never worked a day in their lives." All graduated from college and worked for a time outside of WM.

[MrStonemike]

@da5id6301 No, but their Dad did and real danger comes from "entitlement radicalism" of sectors of our societies that believe the general populace has more claim to the Walton fortune than his own family. These are the same warped ideologies that believe I should pay more for a phone so non productive bums can have a phone given to them free!

[Boomer1949]

I have boycotted Walmart for years. I refuse, absolutely refuse to spend any of my own money at Walmart. I don't care how low the prices are. That chain of stores when it first came into being was a great thing. Made in America goods, cheep and all in one place. But as soon as the founder died and his kids took over, he was a hell hole for employees and a crushing blow to small town America. I'm proud to say my home town of SLO, Ca refuses to have any Walmart associated store within 30 mls

[etniks69]

Walmart is the store closest to my home, but I never shop there since I realized how destructive of the Middle Class their practices are.

They have literally factories in China working 100% for them, promoting the export of US jobs, while paying 20 cents per hour in China.

30% of Walmart workers qualify for Tax Payer Food Stamps and the medical insurance they provide is too expensive for its workers to afford, so they end up being subsidized also by the tax payer.

PASS ON THE WORD.. BOYCOTT!!

[MrStonemike]

@etniks69 Wal Mart is not just the problem , our unamerican government micro-manages and regulates all American business to death domestically , yet encourages out sourcing of everything while using inside information to become wealthy themselves. Lets face it , government must be rolled back giving Americans the same freedoms we had one hundred years ago, and no, before you progressives go nuts, I'm not suggesting the labor laws of the past!

[etniks69]

@MrStonemike

I have to admit the more I learn about how corrupt government has become, the more I am turning into an anarchist, something I never thought I would.

The VENUS Project proposes a no-government society with most work done by robots. Have you checked them out?

It sounds very utopian but at this point, learning about how corrupt the US government is, I am willing to check anything else where no politicians are allowed

[MrStonemike]

@etniks69 The no-government society has an appeal but our current society is in large part a workless society and it is clearly destroying America. Basics never change , a society must produce more than it gives away and the US is fast overloading that equation! No work and redistribution of wealth destroys all self respect and initiative!

[RANDY2045]

they wont except a doctor excuse

[TheGrama4]

The word BOYCOTT comes to mind.

[MrStonemike]

@TheGrama4 Absolutely the American answer, but the "radical redistribution sector" of global groups would really prefer an omnipotent authority to force the Walton family into destitution. Justice is one thing , but entitlement and psychotic jealousy makes me sick and will enslave all humanity if allowed to flourish!

[Dambo96]

Burn Baby Burn, Hillary lose your asssets

[spankywzl]

Walmart will be the first place looted, when the zombie apocalypse happens, so it's got that going for it

...which is nice!

[MrStonemike]

@spankywzl The idiots who desire some sort of anarchy take over of world wealth will deservedly be the first to die in that scenario. They are lazy, useless, gutless humans that are not capable of competing , they should be aborted!

[dontwalkdontrun]

This is exactly right! I worked at a Wal-Mart for almost a year and a half and it was shameful. They do anything to keep the people who work their poor. The worst part was that it could have been a great job if it paid better. I actually liked working their other, and it was an ok job, but I am a single guy, and most of the people I worked with were crushingly poor folks with families.

[MrStonemike]

@dontwalkdontrun If you dont like Wal Mart quit working and trading there! To hell with global "anything" , the intent of these globalist is to install global redistribution of all wealth. Complete global equality is the same as complete and utter destitution! The capitalist community should declare "all out" war on two bit socialists like Ed Schultz and Robert Greenwald!

[dontwalkdontrun]

@MrStonemike Your a moron. Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in the world. I was unemployed for 13 months after I graduated from college, so I would have taken any job available. The "intent" of globalism is not to redistribute wealth. Looks at the concentrations of wealth around the world, it is not being redistributed. Stop smoking meth out of your tinfoil hat.

[comptronix]

@MrStonemike you sure are a moron

[comptronix]

@MrStonemike you sure are a moron

[rickbar123]

Wal Mart can burn in Hell

It's about time !!
