How many of their employees are on food stamps and other government programs because they don't pay their employees above the poverty level? So no matter how much good they do for the poor, they still add to the problem and rely on government programs to keep their own employees afloat.

It seems that wally world has an agenda to pander to the illegals so they are working together...Show me one walmart that is not infested with aliens . And we know most of them are illegals just because of their massive numbers.

I'm just as concerned about the spread of religious authoritarians calling themselves conservatives. The crowd that bemoans big government unless it supports their agenda of busybody control.

Nobody is forced to shop there. If they didn't exist prices would probably be higher at all stores across the board.
Interesting that liberals say they care about poor people but want them to pay high prices.

The solution to that is eliminate government programs--not jobs which mean even more people would be on government programs. Gee, this ain't hard.

Who wants to pay high prices? I don't think any liberal (which includes myself) wants that, I'd rather shop at Target than Walmart though. The funny thing about Wal-Mart is I'd consider it to be more of a conservative store.

Target is usually cheaper in my experience, plus their products are better quality.

I rarely shop at Walmart, and not for political reasons, I often find comparable or cheaper prices at other stores, plus Walmart customer service sucks ass and much of their products are crap.
