We'd also have no minimum wage, 12 hour work days, no overtime, an even more materialistic society, more jobs farmed out to foreign nations, more US jobs going to undocumented workers, heavy-handed censorship, not to mention all of the money the fed/state would be shelling out to make up the difference between what the largest corporation in the world pays its employees, and the already obscenely low standard of living our curent government recognizes as reasonable.

The
only principle i see walmart adhering to is "mo' money,mo' money,mo' money." I see gender discrimination. I see them taking advantage of immigrant workers. i see racial harassment. I see human rights violations. I see a company that likely buys more sweat-shop produced goods than any other.
nothing personal, but walmart is bad.
dialog is good, though.
