| CNBC show on Wal-Mart to be shown again Sunday |
|
http://moneycentral.msn.com/Content/CNBCTV/TV_Info/Schedule.aspSomeone had asked me when it would be shown last week, and I couldn't find info at that time. However, it was shown last Monday and will be shown again Sunday, several times, if you're interested in watching it. Here's a summary of it: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/Articles/TVReports/P100061.asp

| 1. Wal-mart is evil and donates 81% to repugs - Avoid shopping there! |

They give a ton of money to GOP candidates. In fact, they are the #1 retail contributer to the GOP....by a HUGE margin. http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?ind=N03Costco gives 98% to Democrats Hint, hint! |

| 2. Not to mention that they are destroying the U.S. economy! |

Wal-Mart uses its massive leverage as the Biggest Retailer Ever to dictate prices to manufacturers. Who in turn are forced to move their operations overseas to cut costs to the point where they can sell to Wal-Mart and still make a profit. Meanwhile, in the USA, manufacturing plants close and the workers get laid off, trading their middle-class level manufacturing jobs for minimum wage jobs... at Wal-Mart.
It's a vicious circle that benefits absolutely no one except for Wal-Mart shareholders.

| 3. PBS show last night was very good! |
|
"Is WalMart good for America?" was the title I think.
EXCELLENT laying open of exactly HOW WalMart destroys American industries and puts US companies out of business (Rubbermaid) and sent at least 1 million jobs to China last year.
If it reruns, I highly recommend it.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/Maybe it will be rerun on TV, for those who find that easier. Once again, very eye-opening and well done.
