Edwards and Obama Battle Against Wal-Mart

Submitted by Joe Avila, Nov 16, 2006 14:10

It's amazing! Why is it that when someone becomes an elected offical, they become smarter and have all the answers. It's this kind of micromanagement and big governement mentality that destroys the american will to improve ones self on their own. Why try to regulate Walmart? Why not imporve wages for teachers, policemen, DMV workers, and all other non-elected government officials. The only reason Walmart is targeted is because they are MAKING MONEY and this doesn't sit well with socialist at heart.
