Wallmart has a great business model pay your workers so little they get government assistance at the expense of the taxpayers.

You really are paying for those low low prices.

Its called a tight budget. Not all of us have "Union" jobs even if they pay well...

Sorry. So about Collective Bargaining in China?

In the first place it is the Government that sets what minimum wage is. How can you not expect Businesses to take advantage of that situation. Besides Walmart is not the only place that does that....

Personally what I find so totally repulsive is this.

The Walton Family is by far the richest family in the world (the dispersed fortunes of the Rockefellers and others being unknown to the public), their wealth inherited from Bud and Sam Walton, founders of the world’s biggest retailer,Wal-Mart.The Waltons have a combined wealth of US$93 billion according to Forbes 2011 billionaires list.http://www.therichest.org/world/richest-family/

The company has more than 8,970 (2010) stores, is also the world’s largest private employer with 2,100,000 employees, and is the world’s largest company based on revenue with more than $421.849 billion (2010) in annual sales.

No one says an obscenely profitable company has to pay minimum wage and deny health benefits.

Who says an employer really in all truth owes anyone health benefits? Only a Union or a communist. I know it seems heartless but this is reality here. people get rich by squeezing others. That is the core of a capitalist consumer. Have to pay for that Gulf Stream V somehow!

The idea of wealth redistribution under the economic and monetary system we use is a fantasy!

I seriously feel that is part of the reason why the government is so terrified to legalize marijuana! instead of a finite amount of gold they can manipulate people can grow pot (or Cocaine in South America and in the Middle East and Asia Opium, and methamphetamine in Mexico) which has no finite amount but also in the recent past was worth as much as gold ounce for ounce. Imagine the trade imbalance caused when money begins to accumulate in the hands of drug cartels (like it has). the dynamic and power base (gold) shifts to a commodity the Government has no control over et al the financial institutions. Drugs in general are billions of dollars both in enforcement and in raw demand. it goes like this...

When it comes to a commodity in demand people will give up huge sums of money. Phones, Cars, Cloths, Drugs, name the placebo. But considering the cost of quality pot the people suddenly accumulating money like mad are pot growers and dispensaries. But as they gather more and more money the "leverage" of how much money is held shifts to those who the banks don't control. Suddenly one day their books are blank and the growers and dispensaries got all the money and all the leverage.

Now you think the drug trade doesn't control nations? CHINA was subdued by England importing Opium. Once England got their foot in the door they massed troops within China and literally ran the empire from behind a curtain with a gun to the Emperor's head (literally). Then came the Boxer rebellion followed by England retaliating by armed invasion.

All American Ollie North ring a bell?

Why do you think Egypt gave their slaves beer? Alcohol is a drug like pot and anything else.

It was a historical observation of Caesar Gaius Caligula that the riches men of Rome at the time were the pimps of Rome. And this was a t a time when the Roman treasury was tanked thanks to Caligula's crazy spending.

Money may be the evil but remember this Maude Dib, He who controls the spice controls Arakis and the Universe! What do the masses want? That is what these people use to control us. It isn't money.

The Walton Family is one of the richest families in the world, their wealth inherited from Bud and Sam Walton, founders of the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart. The five most prominent members (Jim, John (d. 2005), Rob, Alice, and Helen (d. 2007)) have consistently been in the top ten of the Forbes 400 since 2001, although Helen dropped to #11 in 2006, probably in part due to her extensive philanthropy. Christy Walton took her husband John's place after his death in 2005.

Collectively, the Waltons control over 48% of the company, and are worth a combined total of $102.7 billion (as of 2012).


Extensive philanthropy? How evil!!! mad

Isn't it a common trait with so-called 'elite-bashing' that the accusers always ignore the philanthropic efforts of those they hate. Information manipulation at its most devious.

whoa

But then, I'm a megalomaniac apparently. laugh
