Why is it you always see only one side of the issue. Yes, WalMart sells goods at a cheap price and it employees many people. Those, on their own are good things.

On the other hand, the aceive this ostensibly laudable goal by doing crappy things to their employees like forcing them to work part time so WalMart does not have to pay them benefits.

Here are some other bad acts:

I like WalMart, but they are by no means without fault and that fault often is not seen when they present their squeaky clean, Christian image.

Similary, you complain about regulating the corps in America, but all that regulation came about because for years these very same corps were making people work 12 hour days for slave wages and not providing them with any benefits. That kind of capitalism is not really what America is about in my book. Do you really think deregulating all companies and letting them do whatever they want to their emplyees is a better method, given the history of that

I personally hate WalMart because it is too crowded.
