heh, i knew it was all just an act. i knew that can't possibly believe in the politics they spew. ;)

interesting site.

heh, check out the gas stations.

Very neat stuff:

This should show very well that the corporations are involved in every level of government and both major parties.

Welcome to the land of the free.

Interestingly, Toyota has both the largest and smallest donation to the democrats.

well i guess it turns out some successful big businesses have souls afterall. :)

I should shop more at Costco. 98% to Dems and 2% to Repubs=very cool.

Oh and I stopped smoking Salem and smoking in general. Now that I realize some of that money was going to help fund Republicans I'm even more glad I stopped smoking.

Costco is a great company that treats its employees like gold. Very low turnover, high pay, high benefits.


Costco vs Walmart (http://www.slate.com/id/2104988)

where's Honda?

i'd expect them to support the dems along with toyota.

shell's a shocker though.

I suppose it doesn't hurt to keep them in the bag for when public whim usurps corporate funding.

Amen. Costco employees get more than double what Walmart employees earn. They rock my socks.

you guys do realize that costco is a wholesaler and walmart is a retailer right? they are hardly comparible.

Would you outline the difference in how they should treat their employees?
Oh, and uh, don't forget that the wholesaler Sam's Club would fall under the Walmart umbrella.

it doesn't matter how either company treats their employees. Saying that you are happy that you shop at costco and not walmart doesn't compare because they aren't in direct competition.

nobody is really comparing walmart vs. costco in terms of shopping. We're just comparing both companies philosophies on how to treat their employees. One company treats them as expendable and the other treats them the opposite. Whether or not they are in direct competition in the marketplace is irrelevent on this issue. just to make you happy, we could have said costco vs. sams club, but then quite a few number of people may go 'what the hell is sams club?'.

Maybe Costco hires better employees? I made less than $7 /hr with no benefits working in college. I make considerably more now; however, my current employer is no less greedy than my college employer.
