WalMart gets grief about their benefits and Starbucks is heralded, yet WalMart has a higher PERCENTAGE of employees receiving health benefits than Starbucks. Not total employees, percentage of total workforce. I bet a lot of people on this site wold have lost that bet. They aren't perfect, but they aren't evil either.

When the hell will these people focus on the real reason America is loosing jobs. The government creating such a tax and red tape burden on business and industry that it is cheaper to leave the USA and import its goods than continue to be based here. Also, I have lived in several places where Wal Mart single handedly turned the economy around by CREATING hundreds of jobs, attracting new stores, selling goods and services nobody locally was doing and revitalized blighted property that sat underutilized for a decade. If you cannot compete, adapt your business. My towns smaller stores that survived did it by offering goods Wal Mart didn't. What is so hard about that?
