MUST SEE - Walmart Lampooned - Killing Jobs And Country For Everyday Low Prices
This is very-well produced. The price of everyday low prices is NOT cheap...
JibJab Video - Big Box Mart - A factory worker learns the truth about his favorite department store - that there's a very high cost for everyday low prices - unemployment.

No mention gets made how unions interfered in the competitive marketplace for wages and thus forced corporate executives to decide in the best interest of shareholders to outsource.
No mention gets made how public sector workers have bankrupted the economy with their outrageous pay and super-sized guaranteed pensions that have bled Americans to death forcing them to seek alternative uses for their cash.
And the lower these numbers shrink, the more labor gets blamed for the economic situation over all these years. No one ever blames bad management, bad laws (like offshoring, or blindly allowing illegal labor to decimate the working class, blind eyes to safety, etc.), or bad fund management of the pensions.
How many years after the unions are gone do you think they will still get blamed for what everyone else does?
"No mention gets made how public sector workers have bankrupted the economy with their outrageous pay and super-sized guaranteed pensions "
It gets mentioned all the time, as a matter of fact, the smaller the union rosters become, the more responsible they are for everything. I have even heard some say they are responsible for the banking crisis as well. No mention ever gets made how public sector managers and politicians have bankrupted the economy with their outrageous pay and super-sized guaranteed pensions. Every time you do, a strange silence befalls the land...
If unions are responsible for outsourcing, then how come the majority of companies doing it are non union? My company included, as well as my previous employer.

"It is a power play by the socialist,"
Yes Obama care is, but is the Homeland Security act, and the Patriot act huge vessels of freedom?
"how else will they be able to tell us what we can and can't eat,"
Codex Ailemtarius, and S 510, both parties absolutely love it.
"When we ignore the Constitution, we invite Marxism and socialism into our lives at our great peril. "
Don't forget Fascism on the opposite spectrum.
It is very typical for people who support any politician from either party to look in the other direction as long as policy and law impacts others and not themselves.
Merry Christmas Gobie, how is your UCMJ studies coming?.

I don't understand why you posted this crap in the first place, much less why you reposted it, if you weren't going to point out the speciousness of it all! It is nothing but misinformation produced by a bunch of obviously economically illiterate boobs.
Evidently the Daily Bail doesn't understand that it is (1) the shoppers in the community that put mom and pop stores out of business, not Wal-Mart. If they didn't stop shopping at the mom and pop because Wal-Mart offers lower prices the mom and pop would still be in business; (2) when the Daily Bail buys a shirt at Wal-Mart that cost $7 because it was made in Mexico or China instead of $10 because it was made in the U.S., Daily Bail has $3 left over to purchase some other item made by someone who got a job producing that item; and, (3) the Chinese or Mexican worker who made the shirt has received an income with which he or she can buy something made in the U.S. by an American worker who would not have a job if not for the international trade!
Thus, as Frederic Bastiat said: "The difference between a good economist and a bad economist is that the bad economist sees only the short-term consequences (what is seen) while the good economist looks at the long-term consequences (what is not seen)!
