Downsizing Wal-Mart
February 7th, 2007 by Progressive Wednesday
Problem:
A scant few weeks after we opened our P.O. Box in Model City, New York, we received our first piece of junk mail, the kind of junk mail that makes us believe in a god of irony (okay, we don’t actually believe in a god of irony, but, well, sometimes we find it difficult to rule it out): a circular from Wal-Mart. Not just any flyer, mind you. This one promised, amongst other things, “instant savings,” “the season’s best savings,” and “brilliant holiday savings.”
At Progressive Wednesday, we’re all about saving and even savings, but we’re also about taking action to protect our tax dollars, our families, our environment, and our small businesses. And we could use your help. It’s time to stop the Walton family from harming our country more than it helps. It’s time to downsize Wal-Mart.
