None of the changes address the key point that a 'Wal-Mart bank' would result in a dangerous concentration of economic power which is bad for consumers, small business, and our nation's economy.
Rather than address the serious issues of unaffordable health care, poverty wages, crime, and sprawl, Wal-Mart?s latest and greatest public relations stunt is to try to rebuild a fraction of the very communities and small business it has helped destroy.
All these initiatives are good for Wal-Mart but they don't address the core problems that they create for their workers and their communities.
States like Maryland should be applauded, not sued, for trying to address the tragic fact that in state after state Wal-Mart forces taxpayers to subsidize its health-care costs.
