Wal-Mart Warns of Democratic Win - WSJ.com
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they'll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies -- including Wal-Mart.
In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.
According to about a dozen Wal-Mart employees who attended such meetings in seven states, Wal-Mart executives claim that employees at unionized stores would have to pay hefty union dues while getting nothing in return, and may have to go on strike without compensation. Also, unionization could mean fewer jobs as labor costs rise.

And Michelle is on one Wal Marts top suppliers board stealing 51k per year for doing nothing.
Stealing? I took an Entrepreneurship course in B-school and one of the topics was the importance of having a Board of Directors. Board members need compensation, without which there would be very few willing to sit on board of directors, due to potential litigation. Every major company world-wide provide compensation to their board. Its not stealing. Its a necessity of doing business.

Uhmmmm
100 top economist have said Obama will put us trillions into further debt with his stupid ideas.
Surely you made a mistake and meant to say that Bush and his Republican backers HAVE put us trillions further into debt, right?
My statement is fact.
Yours is nothing but very biased speculation...
