If you’re so smart, then you do it:

Today two big name Democrats, Barack Obama and John Edwards, are teaming up with the union funded Wake Up Wal-Mart to protest the retailer this season.

We all know the complaints about Wal-Mart and how the unions hate them. What I would like to do is propose if all these Wake Up Wal-Mart people know how to run a big box retailer then they should go do it. After all, their claim is that American’s hate Wal-Mart and want to see it fold, so if they started their own to compete with Wal-Mart they would be sure to put them out of business.

Instead of spending millions of dollars funding Democrat candidates and union front groups, they can open a chain of stores and do all the things they think Wal-Mart should.

They can make everyone a union employee.

They can give healthcare to everyone.

Pay the highest wages.

They can buy all the items for their stores from U.S. manufacturers.

I don’t know why they don’t just do it. Maybe it’s because they know they would fall flat on their face! The truth is they just want Wal-Mart to become another company strangled by a union like the auto and airline is so they too have to go and beg the government for help.
