Criminals are always expert at working a system to their advantage through any means necessary - regardless of the system.
The smartest criminals pay enormous sums of money lobbying/bribing the government to do their bidding. GE is another example of a Bandit/Stupid firm.
Like any sociopath or character disordered person, they blame others for their actions.
"It's the liberals" - I was forced to do it.
Of course, their self-serving lies don't bear close inspection. Being a Bandit operation, Wal-Mart enjoys taxpayer benefits not available to well run businesses.
Being a Stupid-Bandit they don't care they're destroying more capital than they're creating.
This is why Bandits like the Wal-Mart gang belong in prison.
But as Wal-Mart is a Stupid-Bandit, they are a real and present danger to all intelligent people.
As Rule #4 states "Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake."
