There is a really good web site detailing the growing campaign against Wal 
Mart by people of all political persuasions and from all walks of life all 
across the country and in Canada http://Walmartwatch.com    Here and 
elsewhere you can read about the 40% of Wal Mart employees who are eligible 
for welfare (WalMart employees top medicaid recipients in at least 16 
states), or the fact that the average Wal Mart sales "associate" earns 
$1,000 LESS than the federal poverty wage.   And don't forget the massive 
class action suits that have been brought by the abused women and 
immigrants, victims of Wal Mart's cheap-labor hungry top management.   But, 
the biggest crime of all is how this corporate parasite SUCKS the blood of 
taxpayers who are left subsidizing this behemoth to the tune of hundreds of 
millions of dollars every year in tax breaks, welfare and medicaid payments 
to their employees, and community dislocations (the average community LOSES 
at least as many jobs as it "gains" whenever this monster shows up).   I 
could go on and on, but my question to the list is this; what kind of a 
person would grovel before such an entity and appear ready -- even eager --  
to wipe its rear-end with his bare hands?
