We all know Wal-Mart as the place with “Roll back” prices & a nice happy face logo to sell peace of mind to the customers that choose to buy their product. A friendly corporate giant who is wants to serve you and you’re community.
The PR bullshit has almost become a bludgeon to the people who have to or choose to shop in Americas fastest growing grocery chain that claimed $258 billion from their growing grocery sector.
If you don’t somehow already know Wal-Mart is one of the most corrupt, evil enterprises that thrive in this nation today. From their cycle of workers that will never sustain a standard income or benefits to their state tax evasion policies that affect local communities. (plus half their merchandise comes from sweat shops)
Many labor groups across the nation fight hard to halt or completely stop the development of Wal-Mart’s in their communities but none have been as successful as the Saint Consulting Group.
P. Michael Saint, the founder of the Saint Consulting Group, has deemed himself the “Wal-Mart killer” & has successfully stopped Wal-Mart & their practices across the nation. Funded by other grocery chains like Safeway & Supervalu the Saint Consulting Group uses what they call “black arts” to conquer the grocery warehouse conglomerate.
From his staff using fake names & numbers to bombard local legislatures phone lines to conducting political campaigns, Saint has claimed he has championed over 1,500 campaigns across the nation.

Saint was a former journalist & since founding the firm has successfully ceased many project that are detrimental to communities such as shopping centers & oil refineries…
At least he’s fighting dirty against evil…
If you read the article carefully it notes that Saint helps to get shopping centers and oil refineries approved. Do a quick Google search and you will see that he got an oil refinery approved and divided the entire county. They work both sides. Not sure if that is really dirty against evil or evil against evil. Maybe the article should have been called sins of saints.
Good read. Wal-Mart, definitely an evil for small business’s and wage slaves, is only playing by the rules. In order to really change walmart and it’s practices, we need a fundamental change in our trade policies and workers rights policies. Yes, they could raise the price of socks by .01 cent and that would give every employee an extra dollar an hour. They could sell more American products and limit imports, but our policies have allowed our business’s to use cheap labor, to not lower prices on goods, but to increase their profits. This creates more earnings for these companies, and more money means more power, and more ability to sway politicians.
We need countries, states, communities, to be like India. India only allows a business to have TWO stores. This is a safeguard against monopolies, and the smartest way to protect the small business. The ones that have a grater impact on economies over the big ones.
