Evil Corp Watch: Walmart's Imports From China Displaced 400,000 Jobs...

"Evil Corp Watch"

lol

Walmart is not ‘evil.’

Indeed, Walmart has done nothing ‘wrong’ – the company’s actions are appropriate and consistent with that of a free market capitalist system.

But I thought libs believed in no borders, and that we are all connected ?
This way workers in other parts of the world get jobs too !

You 'though' wrong.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Why is it Walmarts fault? Its our politicians that give this shit to them!

Corporate Welfare. The Walton Family is well-connected to Government. When they demand their handouts, they get em.

What handouts? I know GM got a bailout. Did walmart get something similar?

Walmart's a miserable hellhole. It perfectly represents the ugliness of America. The worst of the worst when it comes to 'Evil Corporations.' It's made Slave Labor seem 'acceptable' to many Americans. And last time i was in one, i was struck by the hordes of fat, greedy, ignorant zombies staggering around buying more cheap shitty stuff they didn't need. The stores are dirty, loud, and stinky. A truly miserable shopping experience.

But hey, fat, greedy, ignorant folks really do love it. I stopped shopping there years ago. I've found many other great stores to shop at. Stores that are actually clean and offer good customer service and products. I gladly pay a little more for the quality service and products. Once you stop shopping at Walmart, you'll likely never return. It's a terrible entity. It really does represent the very worst of America.

Why does Obama continue to send jobs offshore?

BTW - love the "according to unnamed sources on the inside".

I do have a few inside sources. Walmart is now drastically understaffing and cutting Workers' hours. If you're looking for customer service, i advise you shop elsewhere. There won't be many employees staffed to help you in the near future.

It's becoming more of a 'Self-Serve' store now. And that's really gonna piss off the fat greedy zombies who expect to be catered to. But hey, the Waltons need more luxurious yachts and mansions. Waddayagunado right?

Every company is cutting workers hours - Obamacare. And everyone is turning into self service - $15/Hr.

Now answer my question, why does Obama continue to send jobs offshore?

Walmart uses government programs to subsidize is low employee wages. It has been estimated that each American taxpayer subsidizes Walmart to the tune of $2,500 per year, even if you never set foot in a Walmart store.

American taxpayers contribute $9 billion per year to Walmart's bottom line with these wage subsidies. If Walmart were to pay each of its 1.5 million workers $100 per week more, they wouldn't qualify for government assistance, and become tax payers. Walmart would still be a very profitable entity, just not one of the top 5 most profitable. Besides, the Waltons need that extra $9 billion per year.

And you wonder how the wealth of the nation is being transferred to the top 1%.

Because he's a Globalist Elite asshole who doesn't give a shite about Americans. Have you seen his recent Trade Deal debacles? They're so bad for Americans, he's tried to keep the deals secret. He doesn't want Americans to know what a Globalist traitor he is.

Walmart is very well-connected with Government. It has more than enough money to own numerous Politicians. When it demands its freebies such as more Tax Breaks, it gets em.

I've expressed it. Wealthy Globalist Elites don't give a shite about Americans. I've been saying that for years. They'd sell their own mothers if they saw a profit in it. They're not good folks.

A Libertarian believes in very little government regulations.
Which means anyone can export jobs on a whim.
Socialist or Communist, whatever your professors told you to be.

And according to some inside sources, Walmart will be dramatically reducing its workforce and cutting workers' hours in the near future.

Still wanna be a loyal Walmart Shopper?


Imports from China by Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer and biggest importer, eliminated or displaced over 400,000 jobs in the United States between 2001 and 2013, according to an estimate by the Economic Policy Institute, a research group that has long targeted Walmart’s policies.

The jobs, mostly in manufacturing, represent about 13 percent of the 3.2 million jobs displaced over those same years that the study attributes to the United States’ goods trade deficit with China. Walmart’s Chinese imports amounted to at least $49 billion in 2013, according to the study, which was based on trade and labor data. Over all, the United States’ trade deficit with China hit $324 billion that year.

"Walmart is one of the major forces pulling imports into the United States,” said Robert E. Scott, an economist at the institute and the study’s author. “And the jobs we’re losing are good-paying manufacturing jobs, which pay higher wages and provide better benefits.”...

HONESTY TIME:

(Nothing personal but I don't fully expect you to be....)

Do you still shop at Wal Mart?

If so, isn't that hypocritical (which would only be true if you CARED about the displaced workers, etc...)?

Yes, you have claimed to be a big Ron Paul fan, and so one can understand how others would take that to mean you are a Libertarian, especially since you named yourself after him.

But, like I said. You are not a Libertarian. Not even close. In fact, what you have been saying in this topic is antithetical to Ron Paul's beliefs.

You should change your username to SanderSon.
