Biggest welfare queen on the planet?

Armistead and Stealhead have reached the crux of the whole matter.
I applaud you gentlemen.
Steve was accusatory. Shame on you.

Personally, I couldn't care less what Wally World does or doesn't do for their work force. They at least provide some jobs. If their employees can't make ends meet, they should either tighten their belts or get some edumacation and find a better job.
You could say that working at Wal-Mart is akin to working for a state government. They pay you just enough to keep you alive and enslaved with only a small chance of being promoted. Pay increases are few and far between and are usually insulting.

I do not own a bridge. There isn't a salesman alive who could sell me one. They aren't smart enough.

Why should I be ashamed. Who did I accuse? I answered accusations with challenges. I don't see you taking anyone else to task, and the general trend of the thread was accusatory. I challenged the attitude, and no one has yet answered the challenge.

I've had years of seeing posters on lampposts and posts in forums, all saying identically the same thing: "Walmart is evil!. They only buy Chinese products!" I accuse, yes. I accuse people of having their own version of PC. Call it SC - Social Correctness. What I asked is for anyone to show that Wal*Mart is doing anything any other company doesn't do, and then why they seem to have a personal grudge against only one corporation.

Yes they did. But the thread wasn't about what is wrong with America, or even corporate America. The OP was a condemnation of one company for seemingly being exceptionally evil in their horrible treatment of employes. I say that's wrong. Has anyone showed where I'm wrong?
