On Friday, February 17th, the New York Times printed emails from an internal Wal-Mart web site authored by Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott. The website, called Lee's Garage, gives managers the opportunity to ask questions directly of Scott. The emails provide a unique and interesting glimpse into Lee Scott's mind and expose the bottomless greed and ruthless attitude rampant throughout corporate America.

For example, when asked by a manager why "the largest company on the planet cannot offer some type of medical retirement benefits?" Scott brutally rejects this idea and then suggests the manager is disloyal for even asking the question. Scott concludes, if managers are essentially looking for a company that would care for them by providing retirement health benefits, the manager should "look for another company where you can do those things."

These documents further illustrate why America's largest employer does not reflect America's values. The truth is Wal-Mart has let America down by lowering wages, forcing good paying American jobs overseas, and cutting costs with total disregard for the values that have made this nation great.
