Poll question: Stealing from Walmart
Walmart has become such a corporate juggernaut that in many respects it is stealing from us by means of lowering wages, costing communities 3 jobs for every 2 they create, forcing many employees into public housing, etc. Have they became such an evil monster that a form of non violent protest is in order?

What do you think?

1. stealing is wrong
I dont like Wal-Mart, haven't since I worked there a few years back. Stealing is stealing, even if the victim is Wal-Mart.

4. Best way to stick it to Wal-Mart
is to shop at locally owned stores. You also get to support local business! If you can't find it at another store, get it online!

6. Indeed
If you steal from Neiman-Marcus you go to jail.
If you steal from Wal-Mart you go to jail.
If you steal from 7-11 you go to jail.

Moral.

If you steal you go to jail.

11. Unless you're a Bu$h
then you get a free pass and you don't end up in jail.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. But, it's true!

9. No you don't
You can steal one of the kiddie rides in front of the store. Make sure the kid is out of them first though.

8. I have not been inside a WalMart
in years. I will never again go inside one.

Worse yet, my best friend from high school is a corporate lawyer for them.
