Walmart critics launch ad campaign

[Kevy Baby]

CHICAGO (Reuters) - An organization opposed to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. took out a full-page newspaper advertisement on Wednesday that accuses the world's biggest retailer of costing U.S. taxpayers some $1.6 billion a year.

I would love to see their rationalization on this one. While I by not means support Wal Mart, claims like this do an injustice to the fight. If they are using the government aid issue, they base their assumption that every single Wal Mart employee IS on government assistance and it is solely Wal Mart's fault.

If it were up to me, we would never shop at Wal Mart. Unfortunately, GusGus keeps going there depite my repeated requests that she not. *sigh* Maybe I need to step up my campaign with her...
