8. nice statement...

"Lest anybody forget, 20 percent of Wal-Mart's customers don't have a checking account and they do not have the economic luxury of making a broader social statement," he told a conference of the Center for Retailing Excellence, part of the University of Arkansas' Sam M. Walton Business College.

Well, if our corporate leaders hadn't decided to export all our good paying manufacturing jobs to China and other places then maybe 20% of Wal-Mart shoppers might not have to buy substandard crap for the 'lowest price'. His comments are nothing more than corporate hyperbole.
