That is what you get for watching too much pMSNBC and taking the lies of the government media to heart.

So lets see what Wal Mart does for a community. They offer decent products at lower prices because of their immense buying power. Thereby members of a community actually are able to buy more goods for less money. How awful!!! Why folks like you want to force those in the lower and middle class income brackets to pay more is beyond me. Whatever happened to helping the little people?

How about their poor employees? If it was such a horrid place to work then why do thousands of people routinely apply for the 200-300 jobs created when a new Wal Mart store opens? And why is it every time I go to Wal Mart the employees seem pleasant. I have never entered a business that treats their employees badly and had a good experience. There is no doubt that Wal Mart employees wish they paid more and had better benefits. Get in line with the rest of us. I don't know about you but the only employer that doesn't have that experience these days is the federal government that has the best pay and benefits in the country.

How about their mind numbed customers? If Wal Mart is so bad why do people shop there? If it is so bad for the community then you would imagine that they would boycott such an awful place. But the fact is they are making a rational and logical decision to get the best value for their hard earned dollars and that means shopping at Wal Mart.
