America Can't Afford Wal-Mart Any Longer

$1.8 billion in taxpayer subsidies to cover employees' medical expenses. Lost wages for 1.6 million women. Untold numbers of jobs sent overseas.

Wal-Mart continues to turn a profit while America's middle class foots the bill.

I just saw this commercial tonight on TV. It's about time someone does something about Wal*Mart. With the economy in the toilet, the only place people can affort to shop is at Wal*Mart. And I believe Wal*Mart is part of the blame for the economy. It's just a vicious circle that needs to be stopped. WE the consumers helped Wal*Mart grow and become the goliath that it is. Now it's up to us as consumers to stop them before we are all working for Wal*Mart !!

Closing all the little stores all over. No oneknows anyone anymore. And WE the taxpayers..pay for the Walmart UNDERPAID employee's health care.. And they cant hardly pay rent..long hours.. Selling CHINA's slave-pay- labor. Meanwhile we borrow from China to bail out GM the gas hog maker-yeah,-the 09's are real smart. Go to the website named: write your representative -Click your state, add your zip, and say I WANT TO KNOW where my taxes are spent.Make these guys honest FOR A CHANGE. YOUR rights!

Americans are the biggest consumers of cheap crap in the world. Americans aren't suddenly going to get a conscience or an eye for quality, Walmart will still be packed with idiots buying junk

you just dont get it. WE PAY FOR WALMART EMPLOYEE's MEDICAL. WHAT PART OF WRONG DONT YOU UNDERSTAND? No one gets paid decent, no one gets to be well paid, no matter how hard they work or how many years they stay. YOU LIKE THAT? You go to RUSSIA. and keep your filthy hate somewhere else, like your house. pig.

@TREYOLDHIPPIE The only local stores that Walmart put out of business were crappily run and obsolete businesses that had ripped off their customers for decades. Good fucking riddance to them! WALMART ALL THE WAY!! That's CAPITALISM AND FREE ENTERPRISE. Go live in Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, France, Sweden, Canada, or some other commie socialist libturd shithole and such on big thick greasy veiny uncircumsized commie socialist cock if you don't like it, KOMRADE!!

How did the 5 US Supreme Court Justices deny certification of Dukes Versus Walmart needed to go to trial? Scrutinize them by studying the ethics of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas that US Supreme Court Associate Justice Abe Fortas was forced to resign. Research rule 23, class action lawsuits, and the decision to grant Walmart's petition to deny certification of a lawsuit from Betty Dukes and other women.

Costco Wholesale's legal team supported Walmart petition vs Dukes.

Respectfully - Walmart and their critics can scrutinize the histories and policies for legal evidence, instead of the sometimes awful behavior in political campaigns of Democrat versus Republican.

Can Rob Walton a lawyer and the leader of Walmart with their supporters and associations such as The American Legislative Exchange Council disprove and debunk their critics?

Walmart and alike may comment, it is unnecessary to explain our culture corporate responsibilities to our critics.
