slave labor wal mart and conservatives

[turmeric]

i went to hannity.com and tried to talk about how wal-mart sells a bunch of stuff made in a slave labor communist country.

all i got was a bunch of people saying 'well, wal-mart is the cheapest so i go there'.

these people are not anti-communist.

these people are selling freedom down the river for a measly couple of bucks

these people are cowards.

Why go after Walmart?  Why not go after the manufacturing companies making the product in the 3rd world countries?  

Walmart is just a retail store.  It just provides a central location for people all over to come and get multiple products.  I don't see why Walmart gets all the wrath.  

Is it because Sam Walton, when alive, was the wealthiest man alive?  Do you go after Bill Gates because he was the wealtheist man alive?  Is that what it is?  Cutting down the tallest poppy possible?

Why Amber, one would think you would be honored as this is a perfect example of yourself when posting on message boards! You always strike at people who in of themselves make you look like the mental midget you are.

but what about all that 'personal responsibility' and 'accountability' conservatives want to restore to america? where is the responsibility in saying 'well i just buy this stuff ho hum not my fault'?

uhm, wal-mart knows damn well where those products come from and they sign the deals. thats like saying we should go after columbian drug lords instead of american drug dealers.


sam walton is turning in his grave, btw.

Don't like it? Go there and save them and while you're getting your ass beat, explain why they are dying because some stupid fuck ( Namely you ) said they don't need the income they survived on making Nike's and drab clothing for American Dept. Stores.

What a fucking bag of pus infested goat testicles you are!!! :roll:

I can think of several very good reasons to go after Walmart.


#1 They have been busted numerous times having good manufactured in foreign countries and relabeling them (often in Mexico and Guatamala) as made in the U.S.A..  I don't like fraud.  They knew what they were doing, they asked their supply chain for the relabeling and even started their *own* factory in Guatamala to relabel garments from suppliers that would not play ball.  

#2 Censorship.  Walmart edits movies & CD's without informing the end customer that the movies & CD's have been edited.  This is simply dishonest and again it's a case of misrepresentation. The customer does not end up with what he or she thought they were buying. (Though the Two-Live-Crew Walmart edit is rather funny to listen to.)

#3 How they handled #1 and #2.  They denied #1, got caught again. Said the problem was fixed. Got caught again. Denied. Got caught yet again. Denied. Got caught yet again and again and again.  #2 Denied. Admitted. Refused refunds. Sued. Finally allowed refunds. Sued again. Still will not inform end customer.

#4 Notorious for removing hours from employees time cards.  Again, I don't like people who commit fraud. Even if the fraud isn't being done against me -- I believe in an honest days pay for an honest days work. Removing hours from employee time cards and having to make your employees take you to court to get it settled -- and taking punitive actions against employees who press to be paid for their actual hours worked doesn't strike me as a kind of place I want to support. Walmart PR: Denied. Convicted. Had to pay. Denied wrongdoing. Scenario repeats itself again and again.

#5 Consistent pattern of fraud and never coming clean and just saying "Yes, we did it, we will fix it" and folowing through and actually fixing it.
