You say this with a sneer. Tell me how shit wages for a majority of Americans has worked out for our economy. Honestly, Republican "thought" is so short-sighted as to be practically blind.

Reading enough similar stories about Walmart's business practices put my parents off Walmart two decades ago, having a family member who suffered as a Walmart manager for ten years cemented it. And their stuff is just cheap. Not inexpensive, cheap. Enjoy the cheap crap you don't need, although you buy way too much of it.

Although I'll give them this: they are bright and dingy, not dark and dingy.[/quote]

+1 on the short-sightedness of Republican party members. The Tea Party's union-bashing is just thinly disguised elitism. The sad thing is, most of the Tea Party is lower-middle class, only they've been persuaded that one day they too will definitely become rich in this land of opportunity (cue flag waving) and then they will benefit from Republic policies that favor the rich. As if.

I'm an economist and I could tell you really appalling stories of focus groups I've attended, where the poorest and least educated members of the focus group were the ones who most strongly supported policies that would have hurt them and helped their bosses.[/quote]
