Wal-Mart & Communism

I recently read a report that related the facts surrounding Wal-Mart's Chinese stores. It seems that the labor unions, accepted and sponsored by their Communist government, are attempting to organize at the Wal-Marts in China. I wonder why you don't hear anything about this on the mainstream news during the primetime reports on the major networks? I would assume because there are too many anti-Communism conservative Americans who would cause an uproar by contacting their congressmen. Allow me not to get sidetracked just yet. The report went on to say that Wal-Mart, after several years of these unions attempting to invade the company, is willing to negotiate allowing their organization within the company. Here is a complete and utter mistake. I, as a capitalist, believe that you do what it takes to establish a profit providing that it's legal, moral, and ethical. I also believe that the employee is the backbone of any capitalist run organization. I do not believe that it is a good idea for the number one retail establishment in the WORLD to allow Communist run labor unions to set up camp inside sixty of their stores.

Ok, let's just make up a little tale that may not be too far from the truth. Wal-Mart has over 3900 stores in the USA. I know that China will only have their hands on 1.5% of Wal-Mart, but let us ponder a not-so-off-the-wall hypothesis. Let us assume that, since Wal-Mart allows employees to purchase stocks using a portion of their income from being employed at Wal-Mart (profit sharing), that 90% of them do. Let's also assume that since Wal-Mart is "willing to negotiate" with the Communist run labor unions in China, that it's possible for the labor unions in America to get their grubby paw on the company as well. What could be a logical summation of this series of events is that the latent Communists in the USA, namely the far left Democrats, the Green Party, the Skin Heads, and the like will have a foot in the door in bringing down capitalism in America. If enough of these types of people become employed at Wal-Mart and, with the backing of Communist China (whose population is about 1.3 billion to Americas three hundred thousand) who is to say that it's illogical to think that these Communist run labor unions won't or can't make their way into America? I think it's our civic duty, just like voting or obeying laws, to contact Wal-Mart and express our concerns. Then, we should all contact our congressmen and let them know that they ought to, at the very least, watch this issue over the next 10 years.

We will not allow those freedom stealing Communists to take over our capitalist nation.
