There are several kinds of walmart victims:
1.) A small town business that is devastated when walmart comes to town. When walmart comes to town, the small family-owned stores are often driven out of business.
2.) Workers that lose their jobs when walmart's pro-china policies force companies to move factories to China to keep costs down. The money grubbing scum now running walmart have a "low prices at any cost" policy that costs America 1000s of jobs every year.
Sam Walton (walmart founder) would be horrified by this pro-china bullshit! Walton used to brag about his pro-America business policies and the jobs they created! My how times have changed!
3.) People who manage to keep their jobs are often forced to accept lower wages with the threat of their company moving to China.
4.) Taxpayers everywhere that have to pay more in state taxes to cover the taxes walmart avoids (see walmart tax)
5.) CD, DVD and even books that are censored for sale at walmart (see walmartized)
Many American workers become walmart victims when their employers are pressured (threatened) by Walmart to move operations to China to "cut costs."
The huge buying power of the walmart empire has the power to ruin a business if it doesn't comply with their demands and their victims are powerless to fight it!

A strange phenomenon caused by eating corn. The poop that follows the eating, even a small amount, of corn. This poop mysteriously contains visable pieces of whole kernel corn. One of life's great mysteries.
We had corn-on-the-cob for the 4th of July, the next morning I saw kernels of corn in my shit!
"Wow! Cornpoop!"

A phrase originally coined by David Lettereman, during the writers' strike in the late 80s. He was referring to the T.V. and movie companies that refused to accept the writers guild's offer.
Today, there are many other instances of money grubbing scum causing problems for working people. Big businesses so often putting profits before the interests of people.
A common example: A big corporation moved their factory to China, eliminating 1000s of American jobs, the money grubbing scum C.E.O. received a huge bonus.
Money grubbing scum is destroying the American dream for many working people, by eliminating good paying jobs and weakening unions.
Also, Wal-mart is one of the worst cases of money grubbing scum in the history of retail! Those heartless anti-American bastards are one of China's top 5 customers!

A person, corporation or government that benefits China in a financial or political way. Many American companies are Pro-China; they set up factories in China so the money grubbing scum can avoid paying their workers a decent wage. These anti-American bastards would rather send billions of American dollars to China than pay Americans a decent wage. The Pro-China people are destroying this country and dramatically increasing our trade deficit. All of the American money going to China has strengthened their military power and their economy and is weakening the power of the U.S.A. The Chinese government owns a major chunk of our public debt.
Most furniture, clothing and footwear is made in China by Pro-China manufacturers based in the U.S.A. This money grubbing scum is more concerned with profits than workers rights, the environment or the long-term consequences of China's growing economic and military power!
The anti-worker fuckwits running Wal-mart are at the forefront of the Pro-China movement--they'll do anything to drive down pay and "keep costs down."
Pro-business Republicans are also Pro-China. The greedy fuckwit corporate owned G.O.P. does all it can to help businesses move good jobs from America to China. The g.o.p. doesn't seem to realize (or care) that China owns more than 15% of our debt. As we continue to borrow from China and buy Chinese made stuff, China gets stronger and we get weaker!

November 2, 2010. A sad day in America.
It is typical for a mid-term election to favor the oppostion party, however due to unlimited corporate spending this year, the G.O.P. took a bigger chunk than anyone would have thought possible. Republicans had a 25% approval rating in 2010. They somehow bought a majority in Congress and made gains in the Senate. Luckily the Tea Party was only able to get 32% of their candidates elected.
The 2010 Election was a major set back for President Obama and a potentially devasting blow to the working class struggling to recover from the Bush Depression.

The eight long years from Jan. 20, 1981-Jan. 20,1989. The Republican president, Ronald Wilson Reagan worked hard as commander in chief in the war on the middle class. The heinous eCONomic policy called "trickle down economics" or Reganomics cut taxes on the big businesses and the rich. This shifted the tax burden to the middle class and tripled the national debt. Dennis Miller described "trickle down" best when he acknowledged this truth: "they admit it-- they're gonna piss on you!"
Along with the terrible eCONomic policy, Ronald Reagan worked to destroy unions (remember air traffic controllers' strike?) During the Reagan Administration, the U.S. backed Saddam Hussein during his war with Iran and helped to establish the Taliban to help Afganistan fight off the Soviet Union. (Funny how the G.O.P. changed course on this)
Overall, the Reagan Administration was an awful, inept or just plain evil bunch of crooks. The bad effects of this era are still haunting us 20 years later.
The fact that theRepublican Party idolizes Reagan today is mind boggling!

Reference to controversial plan to build a Mosque and "community center" in New York City, near the site of Ground Zero. The controversy and outrage comes from the 9/11 terrorist attacks involving Muslims and the victims' families still in mourning. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the plan, is either extremely insensitive to the 9/11 victims or a truly obscene terrorist sympathizer!
Many people were rightfully appalled when the Ground Zero Mosque received approval from the NYC building commission! Whether intentional or not, the location of Rauf's planned Mosque is really a bad idea.
