In honor of this thread, I spent $100 in Wal-Mart this weekend–mostly soda, chips, coffee, etc. Was a great experience . . . clean store, no lines. What more could you ask for?
Also, if Wal-Mart wants to protect itself from the shackles of government regulation and union entrenchment by recommending a vote for Republicans, more power to it.
Really, why not? The teachers unions and government employees vote lock step with the Democrats to grow a government that will increase taxes despite decreased service. How many more hundreds of millions of dollars do we need to throw at the public schools, when enrollment is down significantly for districts like LAUSD? (Actually, maybe Wal-Mart can run some of these schools?)
Lastly, unlike Ford, GM, and American Airlines, Wal-Mart might actually survive as a profitable company–providing jobs and consumer choice for years to come.
