I Will Never Shop At Walmart Again

I recently watched an eye opening documentary about true dirty socialism...Walmart.

If you're looking for a company to take over and run down small communities...SAY HELLO TO WALMART

If you enjoy employees in China living in dirty confined spaces so that they can work for less than $3.00 an hour...LOOK TO WALMART

If you also enjoy other helpless people in India working 14 hour days for less than 20 cents an hour...SHOP AT WALMART

If you like a corporation to descrimination against women...CHECK OUT WALMART

If you want your Black neighbor down the street to be called racial slurs on his lunch hour...GO TO WALMART

If you want to see your family owned business default on the mortgage...FIND A WALMART

If you want your taxpayer dollars to go to subsidies for cheap Walmart property...SEEK A WALMART

If you would like to see a multi-billion dollar company ignore charity and the environment...DRIVE TO WALMART

If you don't believe what I'm saying then please visit the links below. If you're also passionate about these corporations taking over human decency then you will add a comment to this note declaring that YOU TOO WON'T SHOP AT WALMART. Also feel free to copy and paste this not in forwards, emails, links, your own note, blogs, etc...


Here is the link to the website of the documentary I viewed. You can order it via Netflix or watch it instantly with Netflix.

"Wal-Mart settles wage claims

NEW YORK - Wal-Mart said on Tuesday it would pay at least $352 million to settle claims from across the country that it forced employees to work off the clock.

The company reportedly agreed to settle 63 cases pending in federal and state courts in 42 states. The workers and their lawyers will receive at least $352 million, and the payments could reach $640 million, depending on how many claims affected workers submit.

Each of the settlements is subject to approval by the trial court, and the total amount to be paid will depend on the amount of claims that are

submitted by class members.
Also, as part of the settlements, Wal-Mart has agreed to continue to use various electronic systems and other measures designed to maintain compliance with its wage and hour policies and applicable law."
