Anyone who considers it American to add III to their surname has little in common with average citizens, and therefore it's logical to conclude that their opinions about national issues are both invalid & incorrect. Enjoy your Walmart purchases along with all the other IIIs, IVs & Vs.

Lee, Believe me, the vast majority of people who drop out of high school these days do not expect to be making anywhere near 20 bucks per hour. One thing almost nobody mentions is how they are making us much more dependent on foreign oil supplies when the drive fo 45 minutes or whatever amount of time to "come out ahead".... Wal-Mart as a leader in their field, is setting a very bad example in my opinion with their "locking in" of employees at night as if they were slaves, and forcing people to work off the clock, making employees punch out when they reach 40 hours, even if it means they have to wait 5 hours without pay to be let out in the morning, etc, etc. I could not sleep at night if I supported such a "slave operation" in any way, so until they publicly apologize for the mistreatment of many of their employees and crack down hard on stores that allow this 19th century style management style to operate, they will remain an evil organization for me, and I will not support them in any way, shape, or form.
