Don't, "Like" Walmart Around Me. Please

I understand why, if you are not rich, you, "Like" Walmart.  They offer what you need to live and low prices.  Heck, lower than you can buy them anywhere else.  So it saves you money.  Makes your life easy.

But have you thought about how they do it?  They pay their employees shit wages and don't offer health insurance.  They will close a store before they will allow it to Unionize.

Costco offers low prices, a living wage, and health insurance to their employees.  And I bet you shop THERE too!

Walmart exploits Chinese cheap labor to bring you cheap prices on everything you need.  You pay less cause their employees get PAID less than a living wage.

Do you know the three biggest employers in the whole world?  I bet not.

In this order they are, The Chinese Military, The US Military, and WALMART!

As poorly as we pay our soldiers, their families lose their cars and houses all the time when one of the bread winners is deployed overseas, at least they have HEALTH INSURANCE!

Walmart keeps women down, by not promoting them.  After all, they are a CHRISTIAN company, and men should be the bread winners.  Women should stay home and take care of children.  How real is THAT in today's economy?  When corporate profits are at all time highs, yet the pay of people who actually do the labor, hasn't kept up with inflation.  Not good.

If you HAVE to shop at Walmart?  I feel sorry for you, and I understand your situation.  I wish you earned a living wage, and had health care and a retirement plan or pension.

If you CHOOSE to shop at Walmart, when you don't have to?  Fuck you.  You are destroying the Labor Movement in this country.  You remember, The Labor Movement?  The people who brought you, "The Weekend".  And kept your kids out of mines and slaughter houses instead of IN schools?

So if you, "Like" Walmart on Facebook?  You are not paying attention.  They don't like you.  But they know their audience, and they will keep you hooked in.

Next time you walk into a Walmart, and that old man, "greets" you, and offers your kid a sticker?  I want you to look deep into his eyes and try to figure out why, at his advanced age, he's not retired to Florida, or Arizona.  Try to figure out why this old man still HAS to work!  Still has to get up in the morning, put on his vest, and try to put on a happy face, while he puts a happy face sticker on your kid, instead of enjoying the warm weather in his trailer park/condo/planed development/house in Arizona.

Is it because he didn't get a pension?  Didn't get a living wage?  Didn't get retirement health care, and has a sick wife?  Even with Medicare, he still owes some money?  Why is this man subjecting himself to this?  I'll bet you dollars to donuts he doesn't WANT to be there.

And folks who run places like Walmart are the reason for it.

So don't, "Like" Walmart to me.  I DON'T like Walmart.  And if you ever see me in one, I have exhausted EVERY other place to get what I'm looking for. 

I'm pro Union, pro National Health Care, pro a better minimum wage, and pro smart people.  That's why I vote for Democrats!  And if you WORK for a living, and you're NOT like me?  You are NOT paying attention.

As the Reverend Payton (and his Big Assed Band) said, "Put your home town on the map, with four football fields of Chinese crap".  THAT is Walmart.

LIKE that, anti Union, pricks.
