[Vision2020] Wal-Mart, what else?

[Donovan Arnold]

G,
  
 When are you going to listen to the  liberal elitists that know what is best for everyone? It does not  matter if Wal-Mart employs people part time on government assistance  programs so they have some extra cash and get out of dire poverty.  Those facts are irrelevant. The fact that Wal-Mart provides jobs to  people that otherwise would could not get one, (like that is why they  are on government assistance anyway) is an irrelevant fact. The fact  that 30% of Wal-Mart's employees where taken off government assistance  payrolls, (that about 350,000 people) is also irrelevant. Wal-Mart  workers were all higher paid employees at a business that Wal-Mart  eliminated through unfair competition. 
  
  What is relevant is that we join the unions in their campaign against Wal-Mart.
  Unions are making bank on negative publicity on Wal-Mart. So listen to  what they they say. Their information will be unbiased, well  researched, and 100% true. 
  
  Take Care,
  
  DJA

that they all held top flight BlueCross-Blue Shield health plans and gave 
them up for an opportunity to have a career at wal-mart?
