Oh and by the way i know some Democrats also signed those bills and they should be voted right out of office. Especially most of those southern ones who are not worth piss. You think the Republican party will trot out another pigeon like thad dumb prick who challenged Cris Matthews to a duel? Zo Miller i think this idiots name was.
Republican or democrat

lol,lol,ohhhhhhhh,lol. You should be a comedian. Stop it i can't take your hysterical jokes anymore.
What's so funny? All of my immediate and extended family works hard and most are Republican. The 'non-republicans' don't care about politics either way.
Glad you got a kick out of it.
My Grandfather Worked till 68 then retired. HE was bored went back for a different company and stopped at about 80. Was city councilman for 38 years. Was one old tough Republican. Was so over the top that it Made me change my mind to a independent. Was always P'd at me for dong that.
But he was a real conservative not like some of the make believe ones around today. A product of the great depression. When a nickel meant more to some back then. Then 10 bucks does today.
A lesson so many of our elected officals need to learn.

Those are the truly good republicans. Its sad but where did they all go? This conservative label they throw around when every Republican president in my lifetime bogs us down in huge debt is hilarious but the clueless back it like the Dems do all the spending. All the commercials in my neck of the woods are about the Dems rasing taxes. I don't think the average american even cares about the deficit. They rather be fooled by a three hundred dollar tax break which they can pour right into their gas tanks along with another couple thousand for heating, tuition and healthcare. Gotta love it.

about lost jobs-revenues-cheap prices ect--take a guess
By Tony Munroe and Jerker Hellstrom
HONG KONG/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) has agreed to buy a Chinese hypermarket chain for about $1 billion to become the top foreign player in China's fragmented retail market, a source familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.
If approved by Chinese regulators, the deal to buy Trust-Mart, a closely held Taiwan company with 100 supercenters in China, would push Wal-Mart past Carrefour SA (CARR.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) for the most supercenters in China, Asia's second-biggest retail market
--and more than one way to skin a cat-
Educational Effort
Wal-Mart under attack by a group that wants to unionize its workers ? is fighting back ? and the attackers don't like it one bit. Wal-Mart has engaged in voter registration drives for its associates and handed out voter education materials.
But the campaign director for WakeupWalmart.com says the company has "declared war on the Democratic party" and is trying to defeat Democrats who are critical of Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar tells FOX News the company is merely engaged in a non-partisan educational effort to inform its employees what politicians are saying about Wal-Mart ? good and bad.

Of course all those workers are wrong. Wall Mart reminds me of the 20's when they would kill those talking union. What the hell is wrong with at least poverty wages and some health care. I mean how much money does Wall Mart have to make. It's not like it's going broke. Don't worry it's not going away its making to much. But it's funny how it's workers are Democrat. And some how wrong because of that. But it's higher ups received a letter last week suggestion a amount they should
give to the republican party.
give to the republican party.

Bryanz "the republican party has taxed?????
Then why have you all been bitching for 5 years about tax cuts????
Hmm Is it the working class you all figure will have probs with ID's for voting--who wants to let felons vote?
Is there really anyone that is sane that would argue the Dem party is not for transer of wealth-seriously!
Heres an oldie Ctown but one of my favs--
Suppose that every day, ten people go out for dinner and the bill for all ten comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes [based on US tax rates 2005], it would go something like this:
The first four people (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1 i.e. 1%
The sixth would pay $3 i.e. 3%
The seventh would pay $7 i.e. 7%
The eighth would pay $12 i.e. 12%
The ninth would pay $18 i.e. 18%
The tenth person (the richest) would pay $59 i.e. 59%
So, that?s what they decided to do.
The ten people ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.
?Since you are all such good customers," he said, ?I?m going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." Dinner for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four people were unaffected. They would still eat for free.
But what about the other six people - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ?fair share??
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody?s share, then the fifth person and the sixth person would each end up being paid to eat their meal.
So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each person?s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth person, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings)
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings)
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings)
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings)
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings)
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings)
Each of the six was BETTER OFF than before. And the FIRST FOUR CONTINUED TO EAT FOR FREE. But once outside the restaurant, they began to compare their savings.
?I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth person. He pointed to the tenth person," but he got $10!"
?Yeah, that?s right," exclaimed the fifth person. ?I only saved a dollar, too. It?s unfair that he got ten times more than me!"
?That?s true!!" shouted the seventh person. ?Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
?Wait a minute," yelled the first four people in unison. ?We didn?t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine surrounded the tenth person and beat him up.
The next night the tenth guy (the one who was beaten up) didn?t show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn?t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction.
Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start eating overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Yes Dogs they have taxed and you forgot spend. This Republican party has been a party to taxes of all kinds and can't Wait to spend what they extort faster than the American People can make it and send it to them. I'm not arguing that the left does not transfer wealth but the comrades on the right have been right there with them in recent past. My Republican Congressman Jim Walsh said the other day that our health care system was the best in the world. He was right about His health Care system and the system for his colleagues on the left. He was wrong about the system for most of Middle America that pay his way. I'm not for Universal Health Care but I'm for no free health care for any politician. Let them get theirs the way most of America get ours. We pay for it. I'm also against these guys giving themselves pay raises. If this Republican party believed in the party the way I do and hope you do, they would stop transferring wealth to pay for their raises and health care to send a message. The only message that they have sent is, we are complicit with our brothers on the left and the people work for us . You have never heard me complain about a real tax cut. This Republican Party is getting very good at talking about them but never giving Middle America a real one. It seems like tax cuts are cuts from the original proposed budgets but not real cuts. This Republican Party can't get their hands on enough spending cash, they had to go and spend some of the Social security fund. Why do you and others defend this ? This Republican party has become the right wing of the other Party.
There are stupid people from both parties working and shopping at Walmart. Walmart is Americas Store. It's what we have become, it's a symbol of this Great Country in the place and time We have inspired to be threw our apathy. Some talk about Walmart like it's some kind of disease from another planet. It is us, it is the best we can do, we are what we are, embrace it !
A couple of points, not that it matters much. There are very hard working individuals that are republicans, (some of the hardest working people I know) democrats (others that work very hard - like me... ), and independents.
There are many people on "entitlement" programs like welfare, food stamps, etc., that work very hard, and not even necessarily to get ahead...just to scrape by and be behind but to act like civilized people. Hell, some of them don't drink or smoke! Imagine that! Some use those benefits to make a better life and move forward, despite what one person in this forum maintains.
Another point...if it is so difficult for the wealthiest of the wealthy in our current system of free enterprise and taxation, then how come so few of them seem to be dissuaded from making more money? Why are they increasing both their percentage of the overall income in this country and more and more actual dollars every year, if they are suffering from such a disencentive society? Okay, so I made up a word for effect, but you get my drift.
There is so much whitewashing and so many generalizations flying around here these days it makes my head spin. Why can't people just deal with singular issues and not spout off so many party lines?

Health Care is not a right, nothing in a free society is a right. It is an entitlement, that you have to earn. The way you do that in our system is by voting. You have to put people in charge of policy that will not give you anything, but will give you a good chance to acquire the the things you want if you work within the system. Our problem is, our policy makers that we have granted power to, have other ideas and we stand by and let them tell us what we are entitled to. That's why we need the Walmarts of the world, because we have to many stupid people in America waiting for someone to give them something or tell them what they are entitled to. Thank God for Walmart. Where would these people that work for Walmart be without Walmart ? I bought this great computer that I'm using right now there, It's the American way. Our policy makers are giving the masses cake. What are they going to do about it ?
What this dirtbag company does is go into a neighborhood and undercut everyones mom and pop shops. They lose money just to put these poor people out of business knowing they can sustain the loses but mom and pop can't. Then when the mom and pop shop shuts down they charge more than the mom and pop store did previously. This is a so called great american success story? Dog would think it was. I wouldn't step one foot in one of these scumbag stores.
On healthcare--Have seen many political ads of late and will be many more--is amazing how many top issues of candidates is they are going to fix healthcare cost.
Any time any politician from any side tells me that I will NOT vote for him--as I don't like to have smoke blowed up my ass. They can't do squat but make promises they can't keep.

Why do dirt bag Americans allow them to do this ? So much anger towards Walmart ? When most of FREE AMERICA SITS BY AND TAKES IT IN THE ASS. Tough talk about this a dirt bag ,scumbag company, but free people that choose not to participate in the system complain ? Americans are great at tough talk. Ask us for action and that's a different story. We have created Walmart. I don't here you & and the policy makers can't hear you over their martinis, laughs, golf outings, free health care, kick backs and self imposed raises. Their giving you cake, and that's what you have accepted, so eat it. We are the free !!!!! People risk life, family, love, and their comfort zone to come here. Some of us sit by and let the greatest opportunity pass threw our hands and complain about : This Arab, this China men, this Japanese guy, this what ever, is doing good in our country. It's not your country, it's a free society for those that are willing to pay the price and get off their ass and claim whats theirs. It's out there, where would you rather be ? Than right here right now ? Wipe your nose and go to work AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that all you got ????? you asked , I responded. What about the smoke you blowed up my ass ? YES YOUR REPUBLICANS TAX AND SPEND ! What are going to do about it ? Are you going to defend them ? Attack the Democrats to make yourself feel superior ? Or are you going to effect change ?
Not paying folks for over time hours work sucks. Shows another side of the greed factor. I'm glad they got nailed and have to pay those 124000 workers there back pay. I cant believe they even went to court.
Boys & Girls that's the American way. That's human nature. How many of us sitting on a pile of gold would share it with others out side of our inner circle ? Some of us would not even share it with our families. I'm not saying I'm like that, or even everyone reading this is like that , but there are many walking like that.
I can remember the great advertising that Wal-mart did when it first opened.
everything in store was made in the ol USofA.
When i go in today, the only thing in store made in the states are the employees.
i ask you this how deceptive are they now, a true american story..
what i would not mind is for that stupid happy ball to bounce around the store, and instead of "slashing" prices , is to add a FEW pennies to each item, and state that that they will provide FULL medical.
i would pay a little more to know that people are being takin care of.
But we all know how this translates, how much we took in after we increased the prices by .001%. WOW our shareholders are going to be very happy with us(EXECS) (Primary shareholders)
Forget the damn health plan and lets reap the benefits.
And trust me, anyway u spell it or look at it, the old man at the door greeting u and giving u a shopping cart, is working harder than any damn upper offce staff for WAL-MART. (Now dont confuse education and experience for hard work)

If you note my reference was to both parties--Every election they both campaign on healthcare but neither do or can do anything.
On taxes--somehow I thought our taxes were cut--and some party was upset about it---as far as spending I'm with you on entitlement programs such as increased mediare benefits they ran through and pork barrell projects both sides are quilty of.
however bulk of debt came from 2 wars-911-and to smaller extent natural disasters.
Which of these would you have wanted to cut funding on???
