Re: [QUAD-L] Wal-Mart

Americans are jobless because they won't work for the same wages. I think all US-WALMART employees pay US taxes.   If you mean the Chinese workers,  NO Chinese worker pays US taxes.   American companies can get on WALMART's shelves, they just have to follow Walmart's rules.   The internet is also as great place to hawk one's wares.  Bossing Walmart around is a poor substitute for smarting up and beating them at their own game.  Are you suggesting that Walmart should dismiss all foreign labor and hire only American workers at whatever the Americans will consent to work for because that's the loyal thing to do?  You think they should voluntarily or be forced to hire expensive labor and live with the losses?  Are you ready to pay more for everything on the shelves at Walmart?  After forcing Walmart to do the loyal thing, will you go after the oil industry to roll back prices to the 1950 level?  They are both in the fantasy realm you know.

Or that the illegal’s they hire to clean, get under minimum wage, and the government looses the taxes. Or American companies going under because they can’t get on Walmat shelf’s.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 8:04 PM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Wal-Mart   You like the savings but you'll go anywhere else.   I smell sarcasm here somewhere.  And I guess you are saying the Chinese who work in the sweatshops would be better off jobless.  The more I hear, the more confused I get.
