Why do liberals hate Walmart?

I'm a conservative and I hate Wal Mart.

Just not for the reasons Liberals hate it.

I hate it because I can't go in there without something pissing me off. It's a very unpleasant place.

i don't single out walmart but i dislike companies like them that want the government to supplement their employee's via entitlement programs. You simply cannot make ends meet on what they pay many of their workers so our tax dollars have to be used to fill that gap. If they (and others) would simply pay a living wage we could get that off the rolls and maybe do something about the debt and the deficit.

Or we could lower taxes and eliminate subsidies so that the wages Walmart pays could go further. Eliminating regulations and anti-small business laws (ie Obamacare, which discourages small business growth) to encourage competition would also help.

i would be okay with mixing some of your suggesting with what i'm suggesting, depending on what "regulations" you want to get rid of.

I can deal with the riff raff and other assorted trash because I'll be saving money and that matters to me more than feeling snooty shopping a higher priced place like a whole foods for example. But I do go to whole foods or other similar places when I want something very specific and a great quality product.

I used to refuse to believe this true, but it is. I know a large hamburger franchisee who readily admits this concerning his workers as a basic business strategy. A former employer was asked to make a product for Walmart, he refused to do so under the opinion he garnered from others that they would want more and more product which meant more capital spent on equipment and personnel and then when on the hook want more price cuts and ultimately get to the point of them calling the shots because of having only one customer/partner.

You think when Sam Walton started Wal-mart the first thing he said to himself was,, "gee, gotta get me up to D.C. so I can get me some of that goobermint money". When a corporation reaches a certain size it has to do business with D.C., the D.C. politicians have their hands out demanding exactly that. It's not like crony-capitalism is really a choice, at that level the govt is basically the mob taking their cut.


To further the answer to the OP's question, liberals are taught in school to "hate" Wal-mart, by socialist liberal arts teachers, who couldn't start or run a successful business if their lives depended on it. They've incorporated it into their belief system, you know the one that makes them think they are so superior.
