Can you answer me this all of you Liberals and all of you Patriots (True Conservatives)?

Now, before I begin, I do realize that we need good labor laws. . . We also need to enforce them as well. I also realize that the purpose of union is make sure that the employees of the said company are being treated well, and not to be screwed over company.

But let's take the case of Wal-Mart! Everyone knows they import MOST of their goods from countries that offer cheap labor for pennies on the dollar an hour! But why is that? ? ? ? Call it what you want, but it is what it is. Of course it is extremely bad that we buy from countries that disregard human rights-Mainly China, India etc and all! I could list a whole group of them and rant on their human rights. . . Most of which are mainly socialist/communist countries.

Plus, Don't we have some of the strictest manufacturing regulations that makes it extremely hard, if not impossible to get retail chain stores such as "Evil Wal-Mart" (Being sarcastic with the name. . . I do shop at Wal-Mart) and Target, as well as K-Mart to sell the said product?

Also I ask, if you were to work overtime, most companies HAVE to pay double, and in some states, triple overtime wages for working on a holiday like Thanksgiving, why complain? Would not the families of the said employees understand that overtime, let alone double, and sometimes triple, means more for the wallet to help out with bills that need to be paid? Or would you rather see a family starve because that person did not make enough money to have groceries all because of the bills that had to be paid?

Also I ask, if you were to allow for the unions to come into places like Wal-Mart, wouldn't it drive up the prices? You gotta consider store overhead to operate as well.

Also I ask, what about those thousands of workers that lost their jobs at Hostess just recently? Will the union they have give them more work, or will they seek more union dues from these people that lost their jobs?
