4. Walmart is not the root of all evil here.

Nov 2013

Walmart is currently opening a DC store. According to NBC (link at bottom), there were more than 23000 applications for 600 jobs.

Does that mean that Walmart is a wonderful place to work?

No! It just means that there are no decent jobs left in America. Why do we have thousands of people competing for $9 an hour jobs? It's because politicians of both parties let the $25 an hour manufacturing jobs go overseas.

I'm not angry at Walmart. That's not the right word. I'm disgusted by their behavior, but I'm not angry with them. Scorpions do what scorpions do.

I'm saving my anger for the "public servants" who took the campaign donations (bribes) and speaking fees (bribes), then sold out the middle class.

Don't let the politicians off the hook here!
