Intro to Walmart: Beach Bum caught in embarassing lie
« on: October 14, 2007, 09:02:37 PM »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wal-Mart

Seeing as we talk politics here - and as economics are tied directly to politics - and that corporations are involved a tad with economics - it's probably useful that some members here read up on one example of a corporation.

And let there be no laziness involved here - read up - don't be a bum!

Or you can buy and read Made in America.  Probably a tad more instructive than a Wiki story authored by ?

A friend of mine did a documentary about Walmart which is also very highly informative.
I'll include the link as soon as I retrieve it, ...but I'm in an online conference call at the moment.

edit:
Here's the link:

Zing.  ;D

Anyone who was or is a business major knows all about Walmart. I had one class that focused almost exclusively on the Walmart model.

I just find it hilarious that a man who cannot tell you the simple basics of the largest Corp in america, will spend hours spouting his knowledge of corporations and their relationships to politics.

Then, he recommends a book on Wal-Mart that he hasn't even read.

it just gets better and better.

You read "Made in America", written by Sam Walton.

I don't know who the "Walton family" is. 

You are either lying, or you have horrible reading comprehension skills.

Not only that, but in light of your repeated claims that you are a college professor...

well, this just gets better and better.

You're certainly doing a lot of explaining here.


You claimed to have read Walton's book.  If you had, in the conversation involving the richest 1% of Americans, and the WORD Wal-Mart, you really should have recognized the name "Walton".


You were exposed.  Period.  Take the hit.  No one here with a brain will believe your side of this, that after reading a book about the Walton empire, you have a conversation about millionaires and "have no idea who the Waltons are".


You were exposed, Beach Bum.

You're now trying to point people away from this thread.

Sad.
