[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America is sucking balls. [/quote]

Do you think it’s fiscally healthy to have the USG as the nation’s largest employer?  It’s not sustainable.[/quote]

Yeah.  Having WalMart as our largest employer is a much better indicator of a healthy society and good priorities! [/quote]

It is.  It reflects an employer successfully meeting demand from consumers, and in doing so providing employment for 2.1M people, tax revenues for the governments where it operates, and business for its suppliers.  A good news success story if there ever has been one.  [/quote]

Yes, having a family worth 1/2 Trillion dollars, while 10K+ of their employees are on Medicaid and/or SNAP is a fantastic success story. I’m sure if you were born a few years earlier, you’d be singing the praises of indentured servitude and slavers. [/quote]

The thing about this country and the free market is that nobody is keeping you from building the next Wal-Mart for yourself.  If you lack the necessary ambition, work ethic, and skills, that's a you problem, not something the government should remedy for you.   Feel free to start your own company, and pay whatever wages you like to your employees.  You may be more constrained than you imagine, though, if you'd like to make a profit.  [/quote]
I have no desire to start a company to sell cheap Chinese shit to my fellow citizens. The thing about this country and the “free market” is that this country doesn’t have a true free market economy. You need to take an Econ class beyond Hillsdale’s 101 offering.[/quote]

So you have no ambition, that's fine.  Wal-Mart doesn't force anyone to buy what they offer to sell.  Seems like you're merely envious of a successful business model which works because it meets a need.  If people didn't want their products at the prices they ask, they would not be successful.  If people didn't want to work for them, they'd have no employees.  Your personal values are irrelevant to companies like that, which don't care if you patronize them or not - they have an estimated 255 millions customers per week; 90% of U.S. households rely on some of their their products, including those sold by Sam's Club.  Looks like your economics education missed something, something not lost on Sam Walton.
