Half of everything left after you've made yourself comfortable will bring even more your way - remember? Not paying the least you can get away with for services rendered...

Many companies the conservatives feel sorry for here and "protect" from higher wages not only pau a good deal more abroad for the same jobs, but enjoy higher profit margins there too.

Since when is the US here to protect corporations frpm the workers? They are not suffering but showing RECORD PROFITS though people are more and more finding they don't need Walmarts anymore. The cheap price tags are too costly in other ways.

First off, I was summing up the sentiment of the thread, which is a reasonable sentiment given Walmart's employee-treatment track record. No doubt there are Walmart employees that are happy to have a job with them, and I can sympathize with the notion that any job is better than no job.

It's not wrong to help people have a good holiday season, but based on your winky-guy I suspect you understand the irony of your statement. You fully deserved my summation for that reason.

This isn't a time of "Obamanomics". This is a post-financial-crisis time where the typical spending notions of Presidents recovering from recession have been suppressed by the minority party. If you want to blame Obama, ask Republicans to go back and greenlight everything Obama's proposed.

When you say something smart, then it would be appropriate to say, "Wake up, Socialists." When you tack it on to the end of a nonsense statement it lacks any credibility.

Surely, even Republicans in whatever capacity they have to think...can think of billion dollar companies that don't have the employment-based issues that Walmart has. In ALL cases, this is due to those companies treating their employees better. Who's Walmart's biggest competitor? Target? Does Target make the news for putting people on government welfare? No. They don't. There is no way to spin Walmart out of this predicament.

Let them eat cake, eh?

People who have been spared the sight of severe poverty really shouldn't be complaining about "entitlement mentality" . Visit India, why don't you, and tell me how great it is to ignore those less capable or fortunate than yourself.

Let's let the Phillipinos work their way back to prosperity. Kick those "entitlement mentality" Vets and disabled (all of whom paid into disability funds) to the kerb, mon!

That has nothing to do with the issue. You obfuscate the obvious because all your arguments are poopie.

Democrats haven't created an entitlement mentality. Doing so would be a monumental, multi-generational task. Conservatives, for whatever reason, seem to be taking the financial crisis and it's attendant unemployment as justification for levying charges of an entitlement state. That's inaccurate, though. Most of those unemployed people would go right back to work given the chance. The example of how to get ahead in life is still alive and well in our country. No illusions of "entitlement mentality" equate with the reality of the situation.

Whenever you get desperate, you try to bait me on Israel (you and the other *cough*).

However, I did hear an interesting fact

John Kerry hates Israel and he has Jewish Grandparents.

I thought of you, right away.

At any rate, take care and be well and all that good jazz. Want to hear some more about my garden.

I planted a whole new crop-- collards, lettuce and I am gonna plant kale. It is all good

You talk about programming but your kneejerk reaction to anyone criticizing their country - one of the basic rights in the constitution - is to try to shame them by calling them haters

And congratulations on recognizing that some people with Jewish background think Israel is the wrong answer to Jewish relations with the world. Perhaps one day you will even understand that people often criticize out of cobstructive motives, not hateful ones.

Ever looked at the average age of the McD's worker Randall? It is a lot older than you know.

The average age is 29.5. I wouldn't call fast food a transitional job at all. The days of the pimply faced high school kid handing you the Big Mac are long gone.
