Bush-Mart vs Kerry and Costco [View All]

[JI7]

the only reasons Kerry's policies may "hurt" wall mart is because of their disgusting business practices which don't care about the workers and only about profit at the expense of environment, worker's rights, safety etc. if they have those type of business practices there should be something to "hurt" them from continuing it.


<Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer and owner of Sam's Club warehouse stores, gives more money to Republican candidates than any other company. Its top three managers, including chief executive Lee Scott, have donated the individual maximum $2 000 to President George W Bush. Jay Allen, the vice-president for corporate affairs, has raised at least $100 000 to re-elect the president.

Costco chief executive Jim Sinegal is a Democrat who says Bush's $1.7 trillion in tax cuts unfairly benefit the wealthy. He opposed the Iraq war and supports senator John Kerry for president. He's the only chief executive of a company in the Standard & Poor's 500 index to donate money to independent political groups formed to oust Bush, tax records show.

Kerry pledges to induce more employers to insure workers with a $257 billion proposal calling for the government to pay most so-called catastrophic healthcare costs - but only for companies that provide comprehensive coverage.

He'd raise the minimum wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.

Those policies may benefit Costco and hurt Wal-Mart.>
