“I think our party pretty much across the board agrees that people who work hard should be able to support their families. When a company like Wal-Mart fails to meet its corporate responsibility, it make it impossible for that to occur.”
-Former North Carolina Senator and Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards
“Who can disagree with the proposition that corporations should provide affordable health care, pay decent wages, protect American jobs and help provide a safe and just workplace?”
-Wake Up Wal-Mart communications director Chris Kofinis

god love 'em, those i-know-how-to-allocate-resources-better-than-the-free-market experts! last i checked, a corporation has a responsibility to one group of people: it's shareholders. these people have no concept of personal responsibility and liberty. none. zero. zilch. nada. if a person cannot support his/her family by working hard for one employer, perhaps he should go to work for another employer who will pay him/her more. maybe they should consider finding more work. maybe they should add some extra training or education. y'know, i wasn't at any of the interviews for any of the employees of wal-mart, but i'd go out on a limb and guess that none of them were given the luca brasi treatment when they decided to sign on the dotted line. when THEY decided, NOT wal-mart!
