12/25/2004: "Wal-Mart is a Socialist Temple."

Several women are suing Wal-Mart for paying men who do the same job more money. One woman accidently saw the payslip of a man who had the same job. He earned $10,000 per year more! At first, the brass said it wasn't true. But when push came to shove, they admitted it was true. They were paying the man more because he had a wife and kids!

The Communist/Socialist Adage

From each according to his ability and To each according to his need.

Isn't this what we are seeing from Wal-Mart and perhaps other companies as well?

The suit could represent as many as 1.6 million current and former female employees of the retailing giant.

The suit alleges Wal-Mart created a system that frequently pays its female workers less than their male counterparts for comparable jobs and bypasses women for key promotions.

Shame on Wal-Mart. Shame on any company who still participates in this socialist thinking.

A Capitalist society pays all people according to their achievements --- NOT THEIR NEEDS! Additionally, who the hell is Wal-Mart to decide that the man's need were more than the woman's needs?

Wal-Mart is a Socialist Temple. They use Capitalist tools. But they also use socialist tools like imminent domain. They steal people's homes and businesses to build their buildings. They hide behind the American flag and provide products made everywhere but the United States of America.

The Imminent Domain law in this country is designed for the use of government for things used by the public such as roads and highways, railways and the like. It was not intended for private business.

Shame on Wal-Mart. It is a Socialist Temple --- not a Capitalist business of which we should be proud.
