Old Sam wants everyone to have to keep pinching pennies at his store. |

For someone like the Waltons, or WalMart, $40,000 is very minor. I had reviewed how the Waltons donate to candidates, and they've been more red than blue. |

Target's stores are more upbeat, but I have avoided them because they are SOOoo left-leaning. I frequent WalMart ( local one feels like you're walking into a prison) to support the "Good Guys" that I thought were Republican leaning. With that report, I'm gonna just order from internet and forget either one of them!! |

Target gives to pro-gay marriage groups so I presume they support Obama, too. |

I've seen a report (somewhere on this forum?) that gave a list of retailers and their political bent. Seems like it said Walmart leaned Right. This recent donation is said to be a personal donation by one of Sam's heirs. And it has been reported by a Walmart defender on twitter, that Walmart Corp does not make any political donations at all. That being said, Walmart started in Arkansas and founder Sam Walton was arm-in-arm with the Clintons. And Sam's Club and Walmart pharmacies very much were pushing for the Affordable Health Care Act and pharmaceutical coverage under Medicare. After Costco's founder appeared at the DNC, I resolved to shop closer to home and take greater care in searching for bargains rather than taking my money to the box stores. |
