39. Wal-Mart *creates* the working poor
They pay "Always the low wage. Always." :-), make sure no one works enough hours to qualify for benefits, and then when all the local businesses close no one has any choice but to go work for them. "Resistance is futile"...

End result: Your scarce dollars end up supporting a bunch of fundie whack-jobs who won't carry RU-486 in their pharmacies (often the only ones in town after they put the independent one out of business), or "racy" magazines like Maxim, etc. And there's not a whole lot you can do about it. "I feel your pain"...
