What a lame cop-out to avoid the facts about Walmart's record!

But for the record, my first job after grad school was in the US Senate, where, yep, I worked long hours for low pay as a junior staffer, and where, *gasp* there was staff harassment, sex discrimination and other practices I could write about.

I now work for one of the big 7 state/local PIGs, where the hours are still long, including making a commitment to volunteer to work in the community in Washington DC. in my spare time.

One of the projects I am involved with tangentially is the Streamlined Sales Tax Project , a process to simplify and make state/local sales tax formulas more uniform across the country for the purposed of providing a means to collect sates tax on online sales so state/local govts dont lose more of their tax base and local business dont lose more of a competitive edge to amazon.com, target.com, walmart.com, etc.....

Now try to keep the discussion more focused and less personal, please
