When Wal Mart had 100 stores, were they the target for hate from the whiners of America? What happens if a local company makes good and expands, franchises, goes public? Do they become responsible for everything wrong with our sorry lives when they have 50 stores? 500? I need some guidelines so I can memorize my talking points.

hquin_tset, thank you for your comments. Do you think that the cashier at your favorite Mom and Pop store that sells only American-made goods can raise a family on what they make? Retail jobs, whether the company is large or small, are not careers that can support a family, and never will be. Even the managers don't do that well in most retail. I don't think Walmart is any different in that regard.

you gotta be big enough to turn the unions down. 1.3 million employees worldwide who aren't paying union dues.....no wonder liberals hate them so much. But then again..the unions have done such wonderful things for the auto and airline industries maybe they ought to reconsider.

You would be a "whiner" too if you couldnt afford a college education or didnt have the grades to get in and you had to work for 8 bucks an hour at Wal-mart and try to live on it.
I hate ANY size company that looks at only the bottom line and treats it's employees like crap. The very employees that make it possible for the company to make the huge profits it makes in the first place.

I'd hate a small business who used overseas child labor, and who had employees in the US who had to use food stamps even though they worked full-time just as much I hate Wal-Mart for doing those things. It's not size itself that's the problem, darling, it's the power that size imparts. And Wal-Mart uses its power for evil instead of for good.

Size is irrelevant if the company operates with the morals and ethics that should be in business. It seems the bigger the company gets, the ethics seem to shrink. There are always exceptions to the rule.

The only one who can raise and support a family today is Bill Gates.
Let me figure...forty billion bucks buys how many loaves of bread?
How many mortgages does it pay?
My God, Bill is the number one Dad!
