Someone who represents the conservative spectrum of this board please prove sitarro wrong, do you really want this half brained representing you? I know you guys are better than this idiot.

Two questions, 1. What kind of job do you have? How much do you make? 2. is Bush Lover a troll?

Nice to be able to have a political argument without having it turn into a flame war once in a while.

Because the Unions force the company to adhere to numerous regulations, regulations that would reduce efficiency. It would reduce profits for Whole Foods. Although a unionized Whole Foods might raise our wages a little, the fact of the matter is it would mean Union dues, which by the way are...

Finally, American car companies are (hopefully) taking the initiative. Maybe this will pull them out of the rut. Instead of complaining about how Americans buy foreign cars, they finally try and solve the problem. I'm not jumping to conclusions though...

I'll admit I don't know a lot about this subject, so I will talk from personal experience. I work at Whole foods as a bagger, I'm 17. I get paid $11.75 an hour, and we are NOT unionized. My friend works across the street at Safeway and earns $7.25 an hour, and they ARE unionized. Now, if someone...

I had a dream that Hilary won the democratic primaries, and Giuliani won the Republican primaries, and I was thinking, wow, this country is really going to hell...

What about the Contras? You know, the "freedom fighters" that Reagan supported?

Here's a few: OLYMPIA — It cost the state an estimated $12 million in 2004 to provide government-subsidized health care to Wal-Mart employees, according to a state Senate analysis released Tuesday. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002791346_walmart07m.html Wal-Mart...

Also, in Wal Mart they actually tell their employees how to work the government aid systems in this country. They have classes, telling them how much they have to earn to be qualified! Wal Mart is adding more pressure on the Government aid system in this country even though Wal Mart could...

would you perfer a poll tax? That way if you make a hundred bucks a day you pay $10, and if you make a million bucks a day you also pay $10. You prove our point by showing that if the top 1% pay 20% of the taxes. That must mean that they also possess a big part of the income. Last i saw...

i wasn't telling you to keep quiet, i was telling programs like on the history channel to be quiet. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I should have phrased it better.

Don't do too much of that, it gets annoying. I was watching the History Channel and they were drawing WAY too many analogies. "This ship from the time of the Romans was the equivialent of an aircraft carrier" or "Benjamen Franklin was the equivalent of a Rockstar in his time." Sometimes...

Wal Mart is cheating in terms of Capitalism because they are using forced labor from a non Capitalistic country (China)to increase their gain. Now let's just get back on track...

wal mart drives out the small buisnesses and treats their workers horribly. They are given little if no benefits, paid poorly, and the workers have to be available on a day's notice, thus making the worker's life dependent on Wal Mart. They are a disgusting company that only gives a bad name for...
