Maxman Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Welcome To Socialism I agree completely. Stop bailing people out regardless of industry (baseball, automotives etc). Let those that can't make it on their own fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Pocket change Exactly. That cannot even pay for CC. The luxury tax is nice, but it is a band aide on an amputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Kansas city Glasses-the heirs of Sam Walton, controlling interests in that itty bitty compnay called Walmart-hopefully will have enough cash to get Christmas dinner at Quizno's for the brood after paying Kyle Farnsworth. I was in the Walmart in Orange County few weeks back. I got lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Walmart in Orange County few weeks back. I got lost. You are as wrong as two boys f'ing. David Glass is not a Walmart Heir. He was CEO of Walmart. Key word is was. The heirs to the Walmart fortune name end in Walton, not Glass. His net worth is estimated at $500 million according to a KC paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
