I am glad that someone is standing up and exposing big business. I live near Chicago and the reason Wal-Mart is having a hard time getting stores in the city is they encourage their low payed employees to get government welfare. Do you think Mayor Rich Daley is going to subsidize these guys? Two classes in America coming soon- Rich and Poor.
