adios wal-mart....
i hate this store. it was with much glee that i read today's story that hundreds of illegal aliens working at wal-marts around the country were arrested today. now, i do fee sorry for the workers. this is a nation built on immigrants and the notion of "illegals" seemed only to come up once the newcomers weren't white. anyway....
the real gist of today's post is that wal-mart must be the greatest public leach in u.s. history. it's super ironic that a store catering to middle-american rednecks who bask themselves in anti-immigrant rhetoric is also the company that gives their jobs to illegals. and what does it tell you when the world's largest retail chain doesn't even hire its own janitorial workers -- they're technically outside contractors.
i hope the entire walton family, who seem to make up a good chunk of those "america's 100 richest people" lists get forced to do community service -- maybe something like the patrolling the rio grande border for $25,000 a year.
and another thought...who do you think pays for healthcare for the vast majority of wal-mart's employees? most are uninsured and every time one of them has a slip and fall in the leisurewear section, they're probably headed to the city/county hospital for us taxpayers to foot the bill. argh.
