<div id="RTEContent">G,<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> What is relevant is that we join the unions in their campaign against Wal-Mart.<br> 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!
