It's late August and it's hurricane season. While the liberals continue to do everything they can to take people's money, run shows like "American Greed" on left wing networks such as CNBC, and consistently do everything they can to generate a general dislike for all things capitalism, Walmart has announced that they will be hosting a Hurricane Preparedness and Awareness event here in Eastern Carolina.
It's funny how the American people are bombarded with stories about politicians not paying their taxes, city managers pocketing near million dollar a year salaries, and first ladies taking $350,000 vacations, yet are told to believe that successful corporations, (one of the few fortune 500 companies to be providing jobs to the American people in the last year and a half) are simply greedy and the enemy.
I commend Walmart for providing jobs, and for helping out the local community during this time of year when hurricanes can do some major damage. While the local Wilmington City Council, the New Hanover County Commission, the Brunswick County Commission, and the Southport City Council, worry about things like whether a business can put a bench outside their doors on the sidewalk, or whether farmers should be allowed to sell their vegetables on the side of the road, (yeah, THOSE ideas will really help out the average citizen around here) Walmart uses non tax dollars to do something good.
And what d'ya' know? They aren't the government. Oh, and they aren't unionized either.
Work for Wal Mart and you might change your mind. They have cut bk to only employing p/t so they do NOT have to fund benefits for their employers. They along with many large corporations are on a hiring freeze. And their crews are down to being skeleton crews and they have the employees that they do have work 2 and 3 times as hard because of the lack of help. The Wal Mart here during a 3wk ice storm chose to throw away their food instead of giving it to the community like every other store did.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot more to WM then meets the public eye. Sure they brown nose every once in awhile but they should when their CEO makes over 2mil a month...they can surely afford to take some monies and give it to lots of foundations...and they should.. But there is an alterative motive. I don't trust them. Infact I put my trust with them as much as I do the government. I rest my case...
Just my opinion... But they are not the Saints they profess to be.. :)
