Wal-Mart is..."promoting themselves to low-income people. That's who they lure. They don't lure the rich...they understand the economy of America. They know the haves and the have-nots. They don't put Wal-Mart in the Piedmonts. They don't put Wal-Mart in those high-end parts of the community. They plant themselves in the middle of Poorville." WWW.WatchWalmart.Com
Interestingly, if the Walton family were to give back one percent of their company's $9 billion annual profits, insurance coverage could be provided at no cost to all employees.
