Wal-Mart gets big win July 21, 2006
I’ll write a longer comment on this early next week, but I was happy to see Wal-Mart win.
I don’t really like Wal-Mart, but the thought that we are going to MANDATE any company with a certain number of employees and NOT mandate the second largest company in the market to do anything is ridiculous and unfair. I’ll expand more on my thoughts next week, but thought you would at least want to read the article… Wal-Mart wins.

One Response to “Wal-Mart gets big win”
from an emailer…
It seems to me that the state should be looking at ways to either trim
spending or recruit new business and thus increase revenue instead of trying
to come up with measures to get more from existing businesses (Wal-Mart).
Our government, both federal and state, has created a “cradle to grave”
government support syndrome by creating social programs that demand ever
increasing tax dollars to maintain. When a young man can come into a
“welfare” office and state that he’s left home and decided to strike out on
his own and therefore get food stamps and emergency assistance to pay his
first month’s rent plus deposit (totalling well over $600) when he doesn’t
even have a job or even a prospect of a job, I would say there is something
terribly wrong with our support system.
Once a year a young man comes into the local welfare office to get one
month’s rent plus deposit when he doesn’t even have a job. How will he pay
the next month’s rent? How will he pay the utility deposits? How will he
pay the ongoing utility bills? These questions are not even an issue with
the existing program. In this young man’s case, he gets evicted after the
first rent bill comes up and he goes back to living with first one relative
or another as he has done for the past ten years. Most rational people
would not even consider renting a place unless they had some source of
income. Is this wasteful? Damn right it is.
