ParticipantIn 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.
And, yes, I own WMT stock.

ParticipantI can’t respond to the many specific complaints about Wal-Mart–though, in my opinion, most are general complaints about “large stores” and the American consumer having too many purchasing options–as if that is a bad thing.
As to Wal-Mart being the source of ills in modern society, including not paying “living wages” (see comments by vagabondo) and causing small American manufacturing businesses to close, this would have happened with or without Wal-Mart.
Naturally, the US economy faces significant competition. We’re not competitive and likely will never obtain the good jobs that were described above . . . making things much worse, businesses face tremendous regulations, high taxes, insane goverment spending, and an aging workforce.
Again, all of this is present with or without Wal-Mart. Targeting Wal-Mart and requiring them to substantially increase benefits will not create new, good jobs; it will only raise prices for the working American consumer and cause Wal-Mart to fire thousands of very low-skilled employees.
