[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 61398604, member: 313046"] Wal-Mart did all of that by paying people peanuts,forcing people to work off the clock, discriminating against women, illegal union busting, and exercising such ruthless cost-cutting and strong-arming tactics that their suppliers were forced to send manufacturing jobs overseas and put Americans out of work. Their operations in Mexico were built on bribery and corruption. The net effect of WM on its communities has been to [url=http://www.ilsr.org/key-studies-walmart-and-bigbox-retail/]suppress wages and kill jobs[/url]. It is a fallacy promoted by the right that government ought to be run like a business. It should not - in fact, it's closer in purpose to a non-profit. The goal of a business is to make profit; the goal of government is to provide services. You don't provide services by forcing jobs overseas or paying your employees as little as possible and funneling all of your profits to the top. -Dan. [/QUOTE]
