Yeah, **** those workers who are helping Walmart sell billions of dollars worth of Communist Chinese goods to your fellow citizen, so the Waltons can be worth a collective $89 billion. That's equal to the holdings of the bottom 41% of all American citizens. You tell 'em, Freaky. Don't you wish your dad had set you up better than being just an angry man who covets "fine German screwdrivers." LMAO! "Set me up better" sounds like you come from a nanny state. Couldn't make it on your own, Bertie? The Waltons are worth 89 billion while their employees use state supplied health care through emergency rooms. They earn wages that aren't enough to live indoors and eat. **** these American workers, you righties will side with Communist Chinese before you admit to being ****ing idiots. Some people succeed in life and others drop out of school and are lazy until they realize that they need some money. At that point Walmart and McD's may be their only options. They chose to be lazy slackers and now pay the price. It's simple enough. What about the corner store that was doing fine until Walmart came to town? The proprietor and his employees all made enough to live on. Not once Walmart took their customers with Chinese goods made by desperate workers at slave wages. It's happened thousands of times across America. Those busineess owners weren't slackers or lazy. They were forced out of business by sharp businessmen who kept all the profits for themselves while they pay their employees **** wages and offer prices the local businessman cannot compete with because their business model is subsidized by the low wages and crappy benefits offered to desperate workers. Those employees go to emergency rooms for health care after they reach stage 4 cancer because they cannot get rudementary care. Their kids eat using food stamps. Makes you feel better if you think of them as lazy do-nothings? You're just another greedy **** who benefits by Walmart's low prices while you screw your fellow American. |

Stupid Americans buying Communist Chinese goods while they spit on union workers for standing up for a living wage and benefits that'll make sure their family members will survive an accident or disease.

I don't think 'free enterprise' is high on the priority list of liberals and other socialists. Didn't you spend your work career sucking on the government teat? Is that different than the union teat, Krause? Don't forget that he's a tax cheat, so he's riding on everyone's coat tails. |
