Wal-Mart, when corporate greed and paid off politicos win, the working Joe loses..


 

When a company uses cheap labor control tricks to deny its workers full time benefits, while leaning on the back of US tax payers, pushing its workforce onto public assistance as a corporate strategy, I see a huge problem with this.

Then using local police as thugs to break up  protester's  who want to bring out this horrible truth or unionize the gigantic sweatshop that is Walmart, there truly is nothing fair or "American" how the corporate goons at Walmart are acting.
They are acting more like a well organized mob family and less like a responsible,friendly family company.

There commercials are bullshit, the corporate mantra of "greed" is a crime leaning on the backs of those barely making a "living wage" and the rich ass Walmart heirs/ kids continue to make billions doing nothing. Born with a platinum spoon in their mouth, they will die with a well polished set.

I am a  religious  person and I hope this billions here on earth will give you a luxurious life, because I bet they will do nothing for you on judgement day and I bet it's really hot in Hell right about now. 

I shop at Walmart not out of choice, but often it's the closet place to where I am travelling at the time. If I truly had my way, those sorry ass irresponsible billionaires wouldn't get a cent of my money ever.

I tend to vote with my money and the don't deserve a cent of it ever in my mind.  

Some stats about Walton family wealth that will blow your mind:

Six members of the Walton family appear on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans. Christy Walton, widow of the late John Walton, leads the clan at No. 6 with a net worth of $25.3 billion as of March 2012. She is also the richest woman in the world for the seventh year in a row, according to Forbes. Here are the other five:

No. 9: Jim Walton, $23.7 billion

No. 10: Alice Walton, $23.3 billion

No. 11: S. Robson Walton, oldest son of Sam Walton, $23.1 billion

No. 103: Ann Walton Kroenke, $3.9 billion

No. 139: Nancy Walton Laurie, $3.4 billion

That’s a grand total of $102.7 billion for the whole family.

Sylvia Allegretto, a labor economist at the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics at the University of California-Berkeley, compared the Waltons’ cumulative net worth with that of the overall population, as cited in the Survey of Consumer Finances. (She used the Waltons’ wealth from 2010, which was valued at $89.5 billion.)

Allegretto found that in 2007, the wealth held by the six Waltons was equal to that of the bottom 30.5 percent of families in the U.S. In 2010, the Waltons’ share equaled the entire bottom 41.5 percent of families.

That 41.5 percent represents nearly 49 million families, notes Josh Bivens at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. While median family wealth fell by 38.8 percent, Bivens wrote, the wealth of the Walton family members rose from $73.3 billion in 2007 to $89.5 billion in 2010, or about 22 percent growth.

Kind of sad and really wrong when you think about it. Granted if you work you ass off, sure, go for the American dream. But don't make billions of the backs of your fellow American's who a suffering to make it and then violently defend yourself. 

Walton family, you have no ground to stand on, EVER...
