Why Wal-Mart?

The Earth Can Be Moved: "Wal-Mart is the best political issue they can come up with?"

Reuters with the scoop.
John F. Kerry, (who served in Vietnam), offers up his wisdom. ""It's unconscionable and it is unacceptable that five of the 10 richest people in America are Wal-Mart stockholders from the same family -- worth double-digit billions each -- but they can't find the money to secure health coverage for their own workers and their families"

But why is this, along with the assult yesterday by other senators, taking place in a coordnated fashion, with Wal-Mart as the target? After a little digging, I found it. Its an angry Union, taking revenge upon Wal-Mart for spurring its offers.

" The anti-Wal-Mart campaign was launched by the UFCW grocery workers union, which ended efforts to unionize the company last year and shifted to a strategy of building public pressure on it."

Once Again, labor is dictating policy to the Democrat party, much to the detrimient of their own agenda, and the good of the nation.

The American Dream itself is now unnacceptable, mostly because in the Eyes of the modern democratic party, the United States of America is the focus of evil in the world.
