calling_the_hogs Wrote:I read it. I can tell you they're full of crap. Wal-Mart's health benefits are some of the best in America. I need look no further then my own family to discover that fact out.
Secondly, since my sister works in legal, I know about these contracts. What's NOT mentioned is that when cities pay up for Wal-Mart to build there, they still also sign a contract with the company saying that certain revenues are to be guarenteed; otherwise the company (in this case Wal-Mart) has the authority to move out. Most corporations have contracts like this as protection; in case their market strategies go wrong. If you have more questions on these contracts, go to your nearest college and take Business Law...where you'll learn about these like I did.
Your info comes from a liberal show and liberal journalists. My info comes straight from people I know and see every day. I know the Wal-Mart company and its people FAR better than any of these journalists could ever think about, because, though I don't work for Wal-Mart, I am front and center with them and their vendors. As I type, I am standing not 5 mins from Wal-Mart HQ. I can tell you very easily that the drivel on your site is BS, flat out and uncontested, and people like you and those journalists who come up with this stuff only because you hate capatilism, love socialism, and hate Wal-Mart because of their success, can all kiss my ******. You piss me the hell off.
And you still haven't answered. Why are you and your ACLU buds supporting men raping young boys?

On Paragraph one of your post you are saying these folks are full of crap. Now why would they lie?
They showed a document that circulated in associates' pay-checks telling the employees where and how to apply for gov. assistance for health care. Now how are these people fulll of crap when they have evidence?
And, let me tell you this, a $1500 deductable without co-pay is pretty crummy health insurance when an associate's pay is less than $8 per hour (less than $16,000 per year).
Sending their employees to apply for assistance is just plain wrong!
Also, the method by which they deny health insurance to their employees is wrong. They categorize around 60% of their people as part-time, thus ineligible for benefits.
Cheap labor is what they want, so they can drive local businesses out of the market. That isn't capitalism, that is an attempted monopoly.

Last night on the show, the community in CA said they held up their end of the bargin. I'm not quite following it closely but a similar debate has been brewing in Memphis between that city and Wal-Mart.
" Most corporations have contracts like this as protection; in case their market strategies go wrong. If you have more questions on these contracts, go to your nearest college and take Business Law...where you'll learn about these like I did."
I took business law!
"Your info comes from a liberal show and liberal journalists."
The way you are using "liberal" here, your response constitutes an ad hominem (see below).
"I know the Wal-Mart company and its people FAR better than any of these journalists could ever think about, because, though I don't work for Wal-Mart, I am front and center with them and their vendors. "
From what you say here, it sounds as if you are as biased as you claim the "liberal" journalists are!
" and people like you and those journalists who come up with this stuff only because you hate capatilism, love socialism, and hate Wal-Mart because of their success,"
This is a strawman fallacy of logic (see below). I never said I hate capitalism and I never said I love socialism and even if I did say these things, this is not what we are arguing here. We are not arguing over my political and economic philosophies. I said the corporate community needs SOME regulations (can you read?) and I was very clear about this.
"...can all kiss my ******. You piss me the hell off. "
If I'm that bad, then perhaps you should avoid my posts. And, we have a sense of civility here that each and every one of us respect one another although we may disagree. We've been getting along alot lately and we don't need you to disconstruct that. If you feel you have to insult me, then send me a PM and I'll read it. I may not insult you back because that does very little to advance an argument. It does very little to allow any of us to come to any kind of understanding.
