Wake Up site Of The Week: WalMart Watch

First off, There are a number of the "box chain stores" that are much bigger than they deserve to be, and the bigger they get, the power that they generate, the more muscle they love to shove around and the smaller and smaller us middle class little guys become.

I do not shop at Wal*Mart, no matter how low their prices, plus I cut up my Sam's Club card a few years ago as well. If you have not seen the documentary "Wal*Mart: The High Cost Of Low Prices" then you really need to. Wal*Mart has become notorious for their treatment of EVERYONE save their elite few at the top. Currently they seem to be trying their damnedest to demand that their employees vote republican because for some reason the democrats seem to want Wal*Mart to not only pay their fair share of taxes (which they do their damnedest NOT to do), but to also start treating their American employees a little better and fairly than the sweatshops they and their suppliers run in 3rd world countries. I mean, heaven forbid if folks working for them should actually earn anything close to a living wage and not have to (and be encouraged to) apply for Medicaid just to get medical attention.

If greedy bastards like this actually had a conscience there wouldn't be a need for a federal minimum wage and other laws to try to give the lower middle class anything close to a fighting chance at survival.

Please check out and bookmark the following site and check in from time to time and WAKE UP to Wal*Mart's sad overbearing muscling, outrageous greed, and finagling and TRY to be a concerned shopper. Those low, low prices you may love at the Wal*Mart all come with a price tag that we as Americans cannot afford, and we should all be offended by. You can get to the Wal*Mart watch site from the address below, or just check on the headline above.

WAKE UP!
