WHAT?

Like politics, you need to look way way under the paperwork to see what really going on. As you stated: The Store Manager makes $124k a year and the assistant store manager makes $47k a year? And who do they hire to clean the stores: Sub Contractors that used illegal aliens! Why, because Wal Mart forced them to cut their price. Wal Mart has forced many once American made manufactures to close up their factories and head overseas. How? Wal Mart is so big that they can set the price they are going to pay for an item. They have their profit margin set in stone but will force others into bankruptcy so they can make a buck.

This isn't the original concept of Wal Mart it just grew out of hand. There was a time in our not too distant past when large corporations owned just about everything. Greed was ramped and corruption was everywhere. This happened during our industrial revolution. It is happening again. The only people that benefit from this are the people at the very top.

If you think it is OK to send all of our jobs overseas to poorer nations, how will you feel when your job is eliminated and outsourced? And the next job you get and then next one. It does stop. Someone is always willing to do it for less, especially when they are starving. Instead of bringing our nation down to the level of Third World nations, why don't we bring them up to our level? What would happen if you started to pay the workers in China a decent wage so they can afford their own house? What would happen if the Call Centers India paid better wages so their employees can afford a better life?

Why does a CEO who just lost millions and millions of dollars for his stock holders because of poor leadership, get to keep his job and get a six figure bonus while he fires everyone at the bottom so he can get that bonus?

That's my walmart/ Enron / and many other Corporate America Giant CEO scam rant for today.
