Why are you in favor of corporatism and against basic worker's rights? Why is it okay for the non-union bosses to sit in their mansions paid with the sweat off the minimum wage workers, while denying simple things such as lunch breaks like walmart? Big corporate masters use the tears of the struggling worker for lube. Silly right wingers.

You preach from a pretty high horse. What "basic rights" are you referring too?

Give facts showing Wal-Mart denies lunch breaks.

You will never admit those fat cats you hate so much EARNED the positions they have. What do you do for a living?

One thing we can be sure of, you will ALWAYS resort to childish name calling.

That's true. I took a side job at Target in September and saw the video. And honestly, I'm surprised that they would consider unionizing. I was always treated really well there. I had free food in the break room and they're VERY strict about breaks and lunches. I was treated with respect by the higher ups too, which is one of the reasons I support Target and not Wal-Mart. As big box stores go, they're a good company to work for.

Why do people like you always assume that all wealthy people earned their money? Some do (and good for them) but Sam Walton's kids didn't. They also don't necessarily work harder than working class folks--something many conservatives forget.

Sam Walton's kids "earned' their money because they are related to Sam Walton. Liberals have a problem with successful people having something to leave to their children. They apparently want everyone to start from scratch.

Not necessarily. I just get tired of the conservative mindset that all rich people worked themselves to the bone while working class people are just lazy bums who somehow have less "worth" to society than rich people. Not all people work for their wealth. Some inherit it. That's what I was saying.

DAMN IT! I wonder how many people Target will be forced to lay off to afford the higher salaries for its workers. I just applied for a job there. I just want to work so bad. I don't care if I make minimum wage.
