Why do liberals hate Wal-mart but on the most part praise Communism/Socialism?

Question

They love to say Universal health care, Socialism are great but hate when anyone buys from Wal-Mart. I check my labels and buy American at Wal-Mart whenever it is an option.

Lindsey G - Pay attention, I said the most part not all! How many times do I need to tell you that, calm down, go to Wal-Mart and get some Tylenol, mmkay?!

FYI - For those who think that Wal-Mart treats all their employees unfairly...
My brother in law works at Wal-Mart and loves his job because he receives good treatment...and he's black! Good try though. Find me proof of the mistreatment please.

Here is the low down for morons:
Wal-Mart buys a lot from China...okay, with me so far?...China is a Communist state? Get the connection? Liberals love socialism (for the most part) and Socialsim/Communism are alike. Is that better?

Answer 1

I am afraid the rabid foaming at the mouth socialists are never going to get your point and you are going to have to spell it out for them.

The answer is simple, they are hypocrites.

Answer 2

They hate Wal Mart because the Waltons will not play ball with their friends the unions. The delay till now is so that everyone can forget that Hillary was a Wal Mart director.

Answer 3

lol, Wal-Mart is very much a capitalist venture.. there is nothing commie/socialist about them. But that has little to do with why many people dislike them.. it's the way they treat their employees or what they do to other small businesses that most people have a problem with. They squash so much competition that there is no free market left in an area.. especially when they move into towns. But not even any of that is why I dislike them.. heck you can't hate them for smart business in my books... no my reason is completely different... and here it is.

Let me start by saying my father is a State Representative.. so I can say with a large degree of certainty that this is accurate. There was a bill to place 9 charter schools evenly across the state... Wal-Mart started lobbying and had it changed to place them all in the NW corner where the home office is. When the bill was shot down (the schools weren't meant to be private schools for the children of Wal-Mart executives) they started calling state reps and asked them "What can we do for you to make you change your mind"

Now to me.. that translates into how much money will it take for you to vote a different way on this while at the same time covering their own a*s just enough with plausible deniability to say otherwise... that, my friend, is why I now shop elsewhere.

Answer 4

a million. they provide jobs to those that would desire to be based on public help, the biggest supporters of the liberal motives. 2. They substitute into the biggest finding out to purchase facility for the community community and reason the high priced boutique finding out to purchase districts to pass away so elite libs might desire to mingle with the midsection type and destructive. 3. They overlook, Wal-Mart isn't a sparkling concept, interior the final Century Sears and Roebuck substitute into even larger. 4. They overlook that those shops that libs love, Macy's, Starbucks, aim etc. have finished greater to kill the community retailers than Wall mart. as an occasion, verify out what number community espresso shops and donut bakeries have disappeared as quickly as a Starbucks comprises city or what happens to the community fixtures, retail, hardware, mens/women's positioned on shops, and shoe shops while a mall with a Macy's as an anchor shop opens?

Answer 5

If it weren't for Wal-mart and companies like them, the Dems wouldn't be pushing for universal health care. But when you expect someone to work a 40-hour week and still call them part-time so you don't have to pay them benefits, ask them to work off the clock (because you need help and don't feel like paying overtime or changing them to full-time), and generally try to get around every law meant to help working people just so you can make money, then the dems hate you.

Make no mistake. In the eighties, when companies started firing people who spent fifteen years in a career doing a good job, only to find replace them with a kid fresh out of college (who could do the job, but not as well) they broke the work-ethic deal.

It used to be that you do good work for a company and they take care of you for it. Then some people got greedy and said--who cares if he's been there fifteen years--if he stays another five we'll owe him pension, so lay him off quick and save some cash! It wasn't the workers who started this do anything for the bucks mentality--it was the owners and executives.

Democrats hate WalMart because they are breaking the deal--you should be able to earn a living, afford health care, and so on with a career or managerial job. But Wal Mart gives employees the respect of day laborers, no matter how long they have worked there.

If you want proof, put WalMart in your browser and look up some news stories. I've seen countless articles (probably 15 this year alone, and I'm not trying to find them!) that show how little WalMart cares about employees.

Answer 6

The liberals use Wal-Mart as a tool. They try to convince you that Wal-Mart is the enemy and they are here to protect you from the enemy. We are told that we must be protected from the big corporations because they will take advantage of us. If Wal-Mart is such a bad company to work for why do they have so many long time employees?

Answer 7

I do practically all of my shopping at Wal-mart. My health insurance is through my husband's job. I realize that if he lost his job tomorrow, we would have no health insurance. One of the medications I take is $275.00 per month--with health insurance it costs me $30.00.

Most people are in a similar position. They have health insurance because they have jobs and pay their premiums--these premiums keep going up while the quality of coverage goes down. I think this puts us all in a precarious situation. And I worry about people that don't have insurance. Try to make an appointment with a doctor. The first thing they ask is what kind of insurance you have. If you don't have insurance, sometimes they won't even see you. And they inflate their prices because they can then give the insurance company a write-off. If you don't have insurance, they don't give you a discount. And many doctors will tell you that they are not taking any more patients who are medicare or medicaid only. To put it more succinctly, there is just something wrong with the way healthcare is financed.

I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that it needs fixing. I don't believe in socialism, but I do think that our taxes are mismanaged and wasted on things like war and padding the bank accounts of greedy, already rich people. I also think it is our duty to take care of poor sick people, and that's the way I would like to see my taxes spent. You'll never see any of your rich Republican buddies at Wal-mart.

Answer 8

I'm not sure how you are making this "connection" between Communism and Wal-mart.

Wal-Mart is very capitalistic.

Communism, on the other hand, is the antithesis of capitalism.


btw, your explanation still makes this question a strech, at least to this moron. Isn't the fundamnetal goal of capitalism to make as much money as possible for yourself? Wouldn't buying cheap products from China and selling them for more here be exactly that?

Answer 9

There are a number of reasons I do not shop at Wallyworld.
1. They strong arm their vendors to meet their price-points. Said vendors end up moving operations overseas to exploit cheap labor. Americans lose manufacturing jobs and Indonesia, China, Taiwan gain them, sans of course a decent wage...all so Americans can get cheap Chinese crap and further the cycle of poverty in third-world countries... which of course leads to nasty things like terrorism down the road.

2. Wal-mart treats their employees horribly. My ex-mother in law worked there for years so I can attest to this first hand.

3. Wal-Mart puts locals out of business. I'd rather keep my money in local hands than send it back to Arkansas.

4. Wal-Mart's business practices add to our trade deficit problem.

5. Shopping at Wal-Mart supports China..who last I checked was in fact Communist, has a horrible human rights record, and enough nukes to blow us off the planet.

6. Wal-Mart is against national security. They have fought efforts to increase inspection of containers at US ports because of cost and time issues. I guess it's better business to allow a dirty bomb to be shipped into the US rather than have port security do what they should be doing.

Answer 10

Hooray for Wal Mart, a fine patriotic American company!

The liberals hate capitalism, free markets and profit.

Answer 11

I just love Wal-Mart. I go there alot and I do not praise Communism/Socialism. Stereotyping again, you just don't gather your facts first.
