And that's not "everything" this country stands for. Maybe it's everything you think it should stand for. | ||||

Walmart as a company, on the other hand, gives back tremendously to 'those who made it possible'. | ||||

| I am sure lou is not saying "divide all the assets up equal to all the employees" However, each one of the family members is worth 20 billion dollars. They could cover their entire workforce with some of the best health insurance possible for a small fraction of that. Now the family members are worth 19.5 billion dollars... now what?.. other than thats just that many less people medicaid covers. | ||||

when is someone "rich enough" to fall into the "now we get to decide what to do with your money" category? | ||||
