    All the success of Wall Mart is not attributed to its policy and
    management. A good deal of the credit goes to the Buyers, Employees
    & our Laws 

    It offers employment to many who are willing to work for those wages
    and meager benefits. 

    They are not forcing consumers to buy, quite a few are willing to go
    there and buy their junk. 

    I use them as a convenient store Soft Drinks, Motor Oil etc. 

    Every industry uses cheap labor whenever they can. Gas stations,
    Convenient Stores have Indians, Turkish & Middle Eastern. I. T. &
    Financial companies are using Temporary workers on H1 Visas. Out
    Sourcing is the new term for Bonded Labor in Third World countries. 

    All this is being done within the existing laws. I have a tenant who
    works for Walmart in the Electronic section he manages Phones, TV,
    Stereos Computers etc., Somedays he is sent home after 3 hours of
    work. Last pay check for 2 weeks was for 39 hours. He is from
    SriLanka with a green card. He has applied for his wife to come to
    this country. He needs to show employment to be able to bring her
    here. The INS will be impressed by the job description & the fact
    that he is working for Walmart. He promises that once his wife makes
    it to the US. He will go and look for a job & work off the books. I
    have a feeling he would then become a good Walmart Customer.
