12. I think Reich is wrong
He exonerates WalMart, which is nonsense.

He knows better too.

Walmart hires lobbyists on the Hill and makes political contributions with a heavy tilt toward Republicans. They are hardly blameless.

Here's the deal.

The lobbyists water down or kill necessary new laws, while creating new anti-worker and anti-community laws.

The management lawyers prevent the laws from being enforced.

The legal fees and political contributions grease the wheel so the bicycle never sqeaks.

And workers get the shaft.
