NANCY, CLOSE DOWN WAL-MART? DEMOCRAT Unions VS DEMOCRAT Poor?
Sara is confused again: The Democrat ruling class has been after Wal-mart. You know, that big corporation that employs thousands of unskilled workers? It offers entry level opportunity to new workers, part time work for single mothers or students, supplemental income to seniors on social security, and allows a working family to get a little extra income while enabling moms to spend important hours in the home...So ,they don't pay wages equivalent to journeyman plumbers? So, why are the democrats so angry with WAL-MART?? The gang discusses this:
HANNAH THE WISE: WAL-MART's big sin is: it is not Union...Duh! UNIONS elect Democrats, the largest donors to Democrats are UNIONS-- so Democrats are an arm of the unions, libs are religious Democrats...see?
Let's think about what benefits Wal-mart's closing would bring to the non-privileged, who are Wal-mart's main employees. Would the unions be able to offer these basically unskilled workers nice jobs at nice union wages? ....Oh, ..say, at Boeing, the Auto manufacturers, the motion picture studios, the Teachers unions, the newspaper editorial rooms?., Are there enough jobs at the post office or in other civil service employment areas? If so, why don't the unions contact these low level (wal-mart etc) employees and offer them these great union jobs that are lying around unfilled?...( Instead of trying to unionize jobs that lead nowhere, these "unskilled jobs" ,the cart pushers, door greeters, shelf stockers, baggers, etc..)
If Wal-mart trains them, they may develope skills that enable them to move UP into your union aristocracy.!
SUZY THE Sanguine: If unions/dems succeed in closing Wal-mart, or making it too expensive,.. who are the big losers??? The underprivledged , (mostly DEMOCRAT voters, since we know from recent election rhetoric that NO republicans are poor!)..they are also the main Wal-mart shoppers. These people can buy shoes now for their whole family for the price of ONE pair of shoes at Macy's? Has anyone of these privileged LIBS ever shopped Wal-mart? Go take a look!! (Well, we did hear that John Edwards , former senator, sent his lackey to Wal-mart for a play station, and was way too important to stand in lines like the rest of the hoi-poloi.We have also heard of unions buying party supplies and stationery supplies,etc at Wal-mart,shhhhh.)
JERRY THE MATHEMATICIAN: When Wal-mart was readying 3 new stores in Louisiana, in poor neighborhoods, they received over 33,000 job applications. They rec'd 25,000.applications for 325 positions for the new Evergreen Park store. So, are we saying that Wal-mart is taking reluctant SLAVE labor for their work force? And where they have opened in malls, lately, WSJ reports, they are now considered an ANCHOR store! Over-all sales at the other mall shops increased 24% to 33%! So Wal-mart is good for the nearby businesses as well!!
At a time when Libs support "taking" of properties to improve tax revenues, you'd think the huge sales taxes that pour into communities, plus new jobs, would attract you liberals....IF you really cared about the poor.
MELINDA THE SIMPLE: I HEARD THE LIBS HATED WAL-MART FOR IMPORTING FROM CHINA, BUT TARGET and COSTCO (approved by the libs) have to buy their merchandise in China ALSO..Expensive boutique stores buy their shoes abroad, and most garmnents and fabrics, and majority of their assembly take place abroad. NIKES are not made here. hmmmm. Environmental rules have driven furniture and much manufacturing to other countries who feed their people first, while igmoring pollution. Don't we like seeing poor people in other countries eating? . Everybody sells and buys China, Japan, Korea, etc.. Do you have a tv? Well!
PORTIA THE PHD: (She was in school with hillary) I would never shop at Wal-mart. NO valet parking! None!!
So Sara thinks the hypocrisy here ---with DEMS being for the poor only on election days ---is pretty sad. The DEMOCRAT Unions vs the DEMOCRAT POOR!! Democrat against Democrat. Sigh.
