Individuals I figure you're right but -- -- go back and let's not act no of course is not gonna happen with coffee I'd just let's get real if I'm gonna go back to the politics of it.
There is always going to be with this kind of -- in place which -- you could never get -- -- you can never repeat -- you can't do that it's always going to be that it -- opportunity for selective political prosecutions.
The -- I used as a small group that doesn't want Wal-Mart I disagree tell.
-- -- is a very large group at a very important group that disagrees and does not like warm -- and that is that union movement woman and -- nobody is closely aligned with the Obama administration oh what a coincidence that now the Obama administration's justice volleys going up the Wal-Mart for the -- -- -- -- -- against -- -- which -- -- -- union isn't always.
That's -- -- -- -- trouble about the morals and ethics of this whole story.
Because of the -- it seems like it is.
Selectively and welcome to also -- recently -- -- the -- of the ethics of the story may even be worse than first appeared.
These alleged bribes took -- several years ago question.
Why is the New York Times revealing it on the cost of a presidential election campaign.
It -- together or I think should be pointed out is that Wal-Mart in the -- in -- -- -- -- system.
They're the ones who discovered these payments that were made there were questionable.
And brought themselves to the SEC into the law enforcers and said we we may have a problem here they turned themselves and on the.
Yes -- and -- -- forecast.
I don't think that they will be successfully prosecuted over many many years -- -- gonna take years I don't think they'll be as successful prosecution under the foreign corrupt practices act out there will be political -- made against that it's precisely six and that's all the government -- I think there will be a successful prosecution because they coupled all the investigation and the results of that investigation which they did -- -- That is of that is the big that -- shouldn't give the Obama of Wal-Mart at this point.
A -- is always a big problem but again going back to the affected.
Is this a political hay maker or not it may be with that -- the union leaders because they're not happy with Wal-Mart because they're not union.
But when you go to community to community to community whether or Chicago or Inglewood California where -- might be.
The people say please bring in Wal-Mart they bring low prices they provide jobs -- Mexico to perfect example.
They are the biggest private employer in the country -- You know most sophisticated person in this building who is seated to my left now yes -- shops at Wal-Mart.
Back.
Yes I do not so everybody likes got quality that you recognize well up -- -- that.
There's another group out there and that is this is -- small town City Council person who says wait a minute Carrey's.
But you know building shop down as creator of the hardware store or Harry's Chris Schott is gonna be put out of business because they come in and the undercut the prices.
Does anybody complain about prices being too low -- so let me suggest the following.
May -- Wal-Mart knew what it was doing I'm considered this a cost of doing business.
You were gonna do this to get into Mexico they've got 2000.
Stores in Mexico -- from the Wal-Mart -- about 2000 operations maybe they said okay.
We gotta get in will pay this did get in.
It's going to be very profitable once we -- -- go live -- fed to take the heat of -- foreign -- markets this is.
Problem I had I was a young man right out of college working for this big CPA firm and of and I saw.
Payments to dock masters around the world for companies to what would that will go nameless to the basically unload their goods -- I -- I saw the same payments to the port of port authority of New York very phrase.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
