Walmart now spends more than any other retail company on lobbying in Washington. What are the short term and longterm implications of this trend? How much influence do these big spenders have on national and international policy?

    Monopolies have enjoyed
    the pull that they've been allowed in the last eight years. They are trying to shore up connections and power before the elections. They are frightened that all the pillaring and plundering they've been doing is going to put hillary in the white house. love it.

  • Walmart wants to continue it's policy of expansion and destruction of mom and pop businesses and not have you thinking too badly of them - so this campaign to improve it's image is propaganda. It's an attempt to appear like they care while conducting unfair business practices against the small businesses, not to mention the workers.

    To make sure we all understand the mentality we're talking about, read this:

    The woman is in an accident, suffers brain damage and paralyzed for life. She wins a $700,000 settlement, of which the lawyer - whose suffered no injury or pain - takes $300,000, then Walfart sues her for what her medical insurance as a Walfart employee paid for her medical care - $470,000.

    Gee, if you pay into insurance, and they don't have to pay out, they really make a killing don't they?

    So, she's damaged for the rest of her life, received a token sum for the irreparable damage to life and limb, now she's got nothing but continuing medical bills for the rest of her life.

    Anyone question the integrity, morality and humanity of Walfart?

    The "Dollar God" is watching YOU! Praise be the "Dollar God" Ahhhmmmm, Ahhmmmmm. Amen!

  • Hillary is a part of this! She was not only a on the Board of Directors for Walmart for many years, she also has taken thousands in campaign contributions from Walmart employees. She gave back the donations that came directly from Walmart so she wouldn't look bad. Don't be fooled. She's in the thick of the establishment.
