Jesse Jackson doing what J.J. does best...

From Forbes: bq. Activists including the Rev. Jesse Jackson rallied on Monday against letting Wal-Mart Stores Inc. build a new center here, calling the company a modern "plantation" one day before a vote to allow the chain's plan to go forward. To quote the Reverend: bq. Flanked by images of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez, Rev. Jackson called Wal-Mart an "economic Trojan horse" that has created an "uneven playing field for workers in America" by offering substandard wages and benefits. Hey dude - they pay people less but no one is forcing you to work there. 'Sides, stuff is cheaper there. If they paid people more they would have to charge more. The word you are looking for is "Economics" What, WalMart management didn't pay their shakedown to your Rainbow/PUSH organization? Posted by DaveH at April 5, 2004 9:44 PM
