Maryland is not kidding about Wal-Mart and its incredible cuts to health benefits. The legislature has overridden the veto of its Governor Robert Ehrlick Wal-Mart is threatening to drop plans to build still more Wal-Mart stuff in the state, but it is a sign of desperation. The business model that has allowed Wal-Mart to colonize the nation depends on state and local government wanting it there, and handing over big tax breaks in exchange. When Wal-Mart says to the same state: “here, you pay the health care costs of these cheap laborers we employ as we suck the revenue out of your state” (ok a paraphrase), go figure that the state legislature is fed up.
