The Silky Pony Stumbles Again
"Wal-Mart makes plenty of money. They need to pay their people well," Edwards said at a Pittsburgh anti-Wal-Mart rally in August.
Who says they're not, Johnny-boy? You? Who defines what constitutes being paid well? You? What if I decide you have too much money and that you should give it all to my poorer relatives, Johnny-boy? Will you immediately give everything you have to the poor and live in a mud hut?
For now, most of us still have more faith in the constancy of the laws of supply and demand and the free marketplace than in the subjective and arbitrary pronouncements of socialist panderers like Edwards. Apparently Wal-Mart pays well enough since they have no dearth of employees. And that's where their "social responsibility" ends.
Which is too bad for his anti-low-wages campaign, because in Manchester Wal-Mart pays hourly employees more than Barnes & Noble does.
The ineptitude of the Silky Pony's public meanderings is becoming the stuff of political legend. I think we can safely assume it would be a harbinger of things to come. An Edwards presidency would probably make Smilin' Jimmy Carter's tenure seem positively utopian.

Learn to read, Tucker.
I said nowhere that Wal-Mart pays well.
I said they pay well enough. If they didn't, no one would work there, would they? Or do you see someone holding a gun to Wal-Mart employees' head?
(The funny thing is that i had originally used the word "enough" but then decided to remove it b/c i knew you would use its ommission in just the petty way you used it. Thanks for not letting me down!)
Let me see if I have this right. You posted an intellectually dishonest and silly comment on purpose just to elicit a response from me that you could belittle? Does that tickle your fancy, then? You know what they say: simple minds are easily amused.
