<<What you do not see is the poor mom over at Wal Mart who is able to afford more food and clothing for her kids this Christmas. >>

I see the poor mom at Wallmart exercising her buying power. She and her husband are Wallmart employees. He had a good job in manufacturing but now he can only find a job at Wallmart.

My complaint about Wallmart specifically is that they are a dominant player and set wages and benefits that must be matched by their competitors. Wallmart does not set a good example. The unions will get into Wallmart one day and Wallmart will wish they treated their employees better when they had the upper hand.
