Wal-Mart Says “Judge Us By Our Actions”

ok how about walmart sucks and they support a new underclass of indentured servants by their business model

Mike: On another note,I suspect that we will see the fedgazette article trotted out ,with all the graphs and charts to substantiate the position that WalMart does not negatively affect local economies. Th entire study can be kinked on this site,on the Jan.9,2008 thread entitled” WalMart’s Effect on Local Economies."Wisconsin was just one of several states whose counties were analyzed. Here is an excerpt:  Sales tax data offer another window on Wal-Mart’s economic effect. Wal-Mart likely attracts shoppers from neighboring counties, and wider selection might also induce more frequent shopping. But a new store might also squeeze out other local retailers.

Taxable retail sales for 1985 and 2005 were gathered for Wal-Mart and non-Wal-Mart counties in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. (Data weren’t combined across states because tax rates and items eligible for sales tax are different among states and changed over this period. Also, Wisconsin data were from 1991 and 2005.)

Wal-Mart counties in each state saw mostly similar or faster growth in taxable sales compared with non-Wal-Mart counties. For example, taxable sales for Wal-Mart counties grew faster in North Dakota; in South Dakota and Wisconsin, average taxable sales were slower, but only by a couple of percentage points. But buyer beware; the number of observations in each of these states is small, which introduces some uncertainty.

Now there are a couple of points of interest for me- 1.)The graph shows Taxable Sales-but was this the actual amounts PAID? (Remember the loopholes?) 2.)Is Wisconsin a combined reporting state that would eliminate many of the tax avoidance scams? Are the other states involved in this study “combined reporting “states also,or are they vulnerable to having their rightful revenue diverted away from their state coffers, by not having the protection that the combined method affords?

Sorry for the inadvertant triplication of one of the paragraphs.

WALMART SAYS “JUDGE US BY OUR ACTIONS”

“In an op-ed today in the Capital Times of Madison, WI, Wal-Mart executive Lisa B. Nelson explains why everyone should stop hating Wal-Mart.”

Problem is...Lisa, simply phrased like this-

“What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

That’s pretty much what this site is all about. Presenting information about Wal-Mart’s “actions” so you can be the “judge”.

...why everyone should stop hating Wal-Mart.<i>

<i>Said one insider, who asked not to be identified by name: “Wal-Mart claims that these ($7.95 jeans) are not loss leaders. Well, if that’s true, imagine the costs of the denim, the zippers, the buttons, the shipping costs, the store overhead, and there certainly isn’t much room left over to pay for the costs of labor. I love free trade, but this makes even me uncomfortable.”

Judge WalMart by their actions? You can bet MANY people have judged WalMart on the callous manner in which they(WM) CHOSE to hand the Deborah Shank subrogation matter.

Correction: That should have read CHOSE to handle the Deborah Shank subrogation matter.
