"Suppose for a moment that WalMart employees are forced to work for bread and water at gunpoint." Walmart doesn't pay a decent wage; most workers do not have healthcare. You should read and then follow your own advice: Folks who can't think ought learn to keep their mouths shut.

Walmart definately loves to prey on the depressed areas because those people have no alternative.... In normal economic areas they come in and put those small businesses OUT of business and then offer little in return by ensuring few get actual full time jobs so they don't have to offer health care... Those that work there are subject to not being able to even talk with each other, females are discriminated against without a chance to actually get promotions, and they abuse child labor laws under the guise of 'making things better'. Sweat shops drive the profit of walmart.... CC
