anti-worker attitude!

Yeah, that employee making $14,000 a year is responsible for Walmart's bad track record in equal opportunity, unions and healthcare!

Making Michelle Obama responsible for Walmart's practices since she was on the board of a company supplying to Walmart is ridiculous.

3. Sam Walton was vehemently anti-union.
Hillary was on the board of an anti-union corporation.

She tried to do some things like hiring of women, so we know she had some impact on employment practices.

4. She was on the freaking board of Wal-Mart - So she HAD influence over their business practices

And they were still evil. The company was not all that different back then. It was just not as huge.

5. she did have influence in spite of the 'good old boys' who hated her
she got them to adopt 'greener' building practices and moved many women into management positions

old Sam was vehemently anti union for sure, but Hill and Bill convinced him to start the "Buy American" campaign back then. It wasn't until after Sam died that his children forced suppliers to move their manufacturing overseas.
