John Taijala signed I Pledge Support Wal-Mart Workers on Black Friday via John Taijala 2012-11-21 18:00:20 -0800I just heard on the radio today that the five Walton children (the kids of Sam Walton) who together own Walmart now, have more assets than the poorest 41% of all Americans, which means they are worth more than roughly 125 million Americans. These are Americans who probably own 1 car (or no car), who rent a house or apartment or live with relatives or friends (and can’t afford to buy a house), have minimal healthcare (or none), and probably work at companies like Walmart. Pretty sad state of affairs. Waltons, how about showing a little patriotism and take care of all the hard working Americans who are helping you make incredible amounts of money. Show a little compassion, a little sense of duty to fellow Americans. It shouldn’t always be only about the money, should it? I won’t be shopping at my local Walmart in Northern California this black Friday. In fact, I pledge not to shop at Walmart any more until I hear that these 5 billionaires start to care about their employees and show some respect for regular Americans who are struggling to have a decent life for them and their families.
