Walmart Rolls Us Towards a "Rollerball" Future

Those great deals you find at Walmart ultimately are costing Americans way too much. With Walmart leading the way, we are fast approaching the futuristic scenario depicted in the movie "Rollerball," where corporations keep the people in their pocket; Big money, in the movie, runs the country and controls the people -- even to the point of instituting its own corporate anthem before each rollerball contest. I wonder what Walmart's anthem will sound like? No doubt some synthesized garbage cheaply produced like the cheap plastic junk they bribe the American people with in their "super" stores. Sure, Walmart recently stepped up with some concessions for their employees, but only after mounting public pressure -- and of course to ensure they have a ready and willing workforce this fast approaching holiday season. To be sure, Walmart's great deals that attract Americans like the religious masses to Mecca, ultimately have cost us dearly. The conglomerate has bought us out, paid us off with $4 prescription fills and wholesale prices on eggs and the like so that we keep our mouths shut. In the meantime, the chain store giant has short changed the American work force in hours, overtime pay, and benefits. They've monopolized and undermined our sense of community. It's powerful conglomerates like Walmart, that the House Tea Party is really fighting for by opposing ObamaCare. Not small businesses. Not the people. Anything to save the big boys a buck, while people struggle on.
