OT - More on Wal*Mart
ECONOMY - WAL-MART IS NO BARGAIN: CBS News reports Americans are paying a
stiff price for bargains at the mega corporation Wal-Mart. According to a recent University of California, Berkeley study, Wal-Mart actually takes a lot more from communities than it gives back in low prices. "Because of the low wages and because people do not have health insurance through their employer, people rely on public support to make ends meet," says the school's Ken Jacobs. In California, taxpayers pay an estimated $82-million a year to take care of health care, food stamps, and other social services for Wal-Mart employees. |

OT - More on Wal*Mart
I've never cared much for shopping at "Wally World." The last time I was in
one, I was not impressed with their selection or prices. Plus, when I read about WalMart making its employees work 'off the clock' I decided that it was one place I wouldn't patronize. So, in answer to your post, I'm not surprised. -- Linda 296/208/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html "FOB" wrote in message . com...

People in CA pay a Hell of a lot more than that for the non-working
citizens, so I don't mind paying for people that are working. BTW University of California, Berkeley, now there's a non biased study on corportations. LOL -- Cheri Type 2, no meds for now.

The desirability of their selection is a matter of opinion, but you would be
hard-pressed to find any retailer that can match their prices. I'm not saying we should shop there, but facts are facts. "Lady o' the house" wrote in message ...
