Walmart And Costco

[Bubstr]

Milton Freidman was a very smart individual. You should look at some of his other views on different subjects. Some the republican party can get behind and some not so much.

On this particular topic of market driven wages, what is left out are the changes o government policy in favor of a global economy. Therefore the government did interfere in market driven wages. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe not, but the US worker does not care to compete head to head with Bangladesh, nor should our government put us in that position.

One thing that stuck in my mind was government subsidies for education. Milton says the majority of dollars spent there are collected from poor and middle class, just due to overwhelming numbers. However the ones that receive the benefits of higher education are the rich and upper middle class. Sure there are scholarships for the poor kid, but the numbers out weight the few that get it. Colleges are funded to the tune of anywhere from 40% to 60% by the federal government. This actually means there are a lot of rich kids on the government entitlements. It was something I never thought too much about, but he was dead nuts right as usual. Also think about how much the government subsidies actually raise the cost of education, much in the same way medicare and medicaid raise overall health care costs.

Sheep never blindly walk into anything. They follow the "Judas Goat" into the slaughter house.

So tell us, Terry, have you figured out the name of the Judas Goat you are following yet?

Walmart is a true American success story. Our business model begins with one of the world's most advanced supply chains, an incredibly efficient trucking network and some of the best drivers on the road. In addition, Walmart has a long-term approach of working directly with manufacturers to eliminate markups and bringing affordable, high quality merchandise and groceries to the communities it serves, in part by partnering with small, local famers in every region of the country.

Earlier this year, Walmart also committed to source an additional $50 billion in U.S. products over the next 10 years. This builds on where the company is today, which according to suppliers, items that are made, assembled, sourced or grown in the U.S. accounts for about two-thirds of what we spend to buy products at Walmart U.S. Learn more at www.therealwalmart.com.

Wal-mart net sales for 2012 was 443 billions dollars. So your 50 billions dollars over a 10 year period is not very impressive. That would be less than 1% per year. Wal-mart has been a success for communist China. Keep supporting wal-mart and communism. I love it when Clayton calls the democrats commies but then he supports communism by shopping at wal-mart.

So what is the other choice? Are you saying any other big chain is different. And I love it when you go out and be a total hypocrit every day of your life and exempt yourself from any blame! LOL

Union Thugs Threaten Families

June 21, 2013 by Derrick Hollenbeck

This story is a chilling reminder of the evil alliance of Democrats and unions.

When super-storm Sandy slammed into the northeast last October, it left destruction and dangerous debris in startling amounts. Homes were folded up and rolled down streets. Civil buildings and churches were flattened, and dangerous toxic materials covered the landscape. The enormity of the clean-up was such that local governments had to work fast and work cheap to clean up their streets. Since “fast and cheap” are not words associated with unions, the emergency demanded non-union labor as the only available and affordable course of action.

To honest Americans, this is simple common sense; but unions want what they want when they want it, your “common sense” be (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ed.

After the storm, Looks Great Services (LGS), a clean-up firm based on Long Island’s Nassau County, was awarded the contract to clean up the county’s streets and other public areas. Upon learning this, a union thug named Phil Capobianco, the vice president of local 138, started making demands that LGS hire his members. When demands didn’t work, he started to talk about the wife and children of a LGS worker in mock concern for their welfare.

Nevertheless, when Capobianco said “I would just hate for anything to happen,” and spoke in specific terms about the man’s home address, his wife’s name, and where she and his children were at that very moment, the worker decided to act. Refusing to be intimidated, he called the police and took measures to protect his family – remember, this is in America in the year 2012.

When the union gangster realized his threats were not working, he cried for help from the Democrats and their media. The Democrat County District Attorney obligingly opened an investigation into LGS after the local Democrat newspaper ran a phony story about the company unnecessarily removing trees to pad its bill.

The media piously reported that the owner of LGS donated over $16,000 to the successful campaign of the Republican County Executive without adding that LGS was approved for disaster clean-up work before the Republican won his seat. The truth doesn’t matter to the media when it is trying to destroy an enemy.

Here we go again....you never give it a moments rest do you? Do you not care about the good some of us have received because of our union? By the way, I am NOT a democrat.

but he's showing the bad part of unions

[Bubstr]

There are good and bad unions. There are good and bad employers. The bottom line is the union is the only friend a working man has, that has any effect on government. Name another special interest group that even remotely aligns with your interests. Possibly the NRA for some, but that does not effect your wages.

In today's world government is bought and sold. The only person with out buying power is the unorganized labor. The Doctors Insurance, stock market, Bankers, Lawyers and Defense, just to name a few are all organized and have clout in Washington. Just who do you have?

You could say you have your vote. Most don't use their vote and anti labor groups pay for advertisement to convince you that all unions are thugs. It's kind of like when Bobby Knight was coach at Indiana. He was an A$$, but he was their A$$.

Some say the Union out lived it's usefulness. We have labor laws that they gave us. Do you think for one minute, we will continue to enjoy these labor laws, with out some group to fight to protect them?

why does the govt have unions and why does some of these union thugs try to force companies to join there union

If your working for a crook, and we all know there is nothing more crooked than the government, you may need a little bargaining power.

Unions always want all the labor to belong to the union. It increases their effectiveness. If they excluded someone, it would raise a red flag. If you go to work in a union shop and don't join, it's a lot like the cousin that comes to a family pot luck and never brings anything. Looking for a free ride.
