Manualblock,
First off let me say that I have no love for Walmart. I don't generally shop there. The stores are so crowded that you can't get out with out waiting in line for ever. I prefer to shop where it is not such a hassle.
That said, why is it Walmart's fault that the emergency rooms are filled with illegals looking to get health care for their children. Why is it Walmart's fault that so many communities bend over backwards to give these large corporations such huge tax incentives. "For their part, Walmart does provide good opportunities for those who demonstrate the desire to work. How do i know this, my wife worked for them for several years. Yes they hire at or slightly above minimum wage, but its not that hard to get into higher paying positions, if you show you want to work."
If our Congressmen would step up to the plate and close our borders to illegal immigration, then the problem would go away in time. If our Congress men would stop giving away the candy store inexchange for votes, then hospitals would not be required to provide free health care to any one who walks in with out any insurance. If out Legislatures would level the tax burdens on corporations, then companies could afford to expand with out seeking tax abatments.
At some point some one needs to step up and say that the maddness stops here.
