Some people have really lost their minds and it's starting to annoy me. One group is now in the business of promoting biased films and "documentaries" about Wal-Mart. The store everyone loves to hate.
While Wal-Mart may have some questionable tactics concerning employees (and none of the "tactics" have been proven in any court)-it is the epitome of American capitalism...something that is very important to the ecomomy.
I made a vow a couple months ago-to shop at the local Wal-Mart in PROTEST against all the unions trying to get in...in PROTEST of all the liberal/socialists groups who are insisting that employees are treated badly, are underpaid and overworked. I personally know many and have yet to hear one story about any of this. Take any successful business that makes a good profit-the liberals will bash it to no end.
Everyone has seen Wal-Mart's lavish television commercials, but have you ever wondered why Wal-Mart spends so much money trying to convince you it cares about your family, your community, and even its own employees? What is it hiding? WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers and their families, business owners and their communities, in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel... and shop.You know, the last time I looked America was a free country. I've said it before and will say it again. No one forces anyone to work at Wal-Mart. People chose to do this. Most of the employees want to work part time; most don't need benefits because they're other half holds down the job that pays for those...Why can't these socialist groups cannot admit this? Why do they continue to portray Wal-Mart (and soon, other retail chains) in such bad light is my big question. If we allow them to bash Wal-Mart right into the ground...we are allowing them to bash every business that makes money, every American enterprise and every American's dream. Everyone wants to make money. Every business upstart is about making MONEY. Liberals love money- we see how they spend it on stupid and useless programs for the poor and needy...yet the very stores the poor and needy can afford to shop at-are being attacked. This "movie" is being played everywhere. The list is exhaustive and I'm planning to go see it, along with many of my friends. we have talked about this and plan to make this into a protest event...PROTESTING the movie and the lies it tells. Dammit. The web site of the group promoting this "movie" is full of advice about how to ruin local stores and the morale of the people who work for them...in true liberal fashion it really comes across as the people (like you and me) are too DUMB to know any better, it's up to US to educate them...to the evilness of Wal-Mart. Give me a break. Cross Posted @ ARS
