Wal-Mart - The High Cost of Low Price
In Wal-Mart - The High Cost of Low Price, Robert Greenwald brings to light what everyone should know about Wal-Mart, the multi-billion dollar corporation bent on destroying America. Purposely shutting down "Mom and Pop" stores, creating ghost towns, wreaking havoc on the environment, refusing reasonably-priced health care, forcing off-the-clock overtime, promoting sexist and racist management, and slave labor standards in China and Indonesia are only a few of the topics brought up in this excellent documentary. To be very clear about the extent to which the Waltons - the billionaire children of Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart - are selfish, corrupt, slave-driving antitheses to American values, compare their yearly charity contributions compared to Bill Gates:
The Waltons: Less than 1% of their yearly earnings (which is estimated to amount to 285.2 billion dollars by the end of 2005)
Bill Gates: 58% of his earnings per year

Wal-Mart is at it again. This time they are apologizing for what have been deemed "bizarre racial combinations" for DVDs on their web site. Apparently buyers of movies such as "Charlie and the CHOCOLATE factory" and "Planet of the APES" were directed to purchase movies with African American themes. This blatant racism is disgusting and unacceptable. How can a company so bent on customer destruction still be America's number one retailer?
