23. immediate profits screw the community

Pay attention Walmart apologists- the Walmart model is NOT succesful. It eventually leads to the destruction of the community it relies on. Since when is destroying your own future in the name of short-term profits "a success?"
Answer: Since right wing nuts have convinced Americans that our country should reward greed and punish honest, hard work.
A community doesn't have the liesure of moving to the next, unspoiled local economy when Walmart policies destroy the local community's tax base. The reason for going after Walmart is pretty simple; strategy. Why should pro-American forces like unions and consumer advocacy groups weaken their effectiveness just because some squeemish cafe liberal thinks they ought to take on all of the enemies of fairness at one time?
"Divide and conquer" is the only approach that will work in reclaiming our country from the criminally wealthy and lazy trust fund class. Some of the DUers that are complaining about this Walmart-centered approach have bought into the right wing narrative that insists the wealthy employers are just doing what must be done to compete in this economy when they trash employee rights, benefits and pay. This lie perpetuates the clear unfairness of CEOs and connected family members making thousands of times more than their employees.
Pro-American union organizers should target Walmart exclusively. Concentrate on Walmart and apply every ounce of American consumer and worker opinion to leverage a victory for labor against Walmart, and all of the rest of the bad corporate "citizens" will be forced to run their businesses with the future of America in mind, instead of greedy immediate profit, at the expense of our children's future and the continued destruction of the middle class.
If you don't understand the pragmatism of this approach, perhaps you should re-read our history.
