Wal-Mart Does What Liberals Promised To Do

RUSH: In Chicago we’ve been following the “living-wage” argument and the Big Box Resolution, trying to keep Wal-Mart stores out of the city. (story) “The so-called ‘living-wage’ ordinance that would have required mega-retailers here to pay their workers higher wages was successfully turned back Wednesday as supporters on the City Council could not muster enough votes to override Mayor Richard Daley’s veto. Daley, who vetoed the ordinance this week saying it would cost the city jobs and hurt people who need those jobs the most, was able to convince enough aldermen who voted in favor of the ordinance in July to change their votes. The vote was 31-18 in favor of overriding the veto — three short of the necessary votes to do so.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In Chicago. You know we we've been following the living
wage argument and the big box resolution trying to keep
Walmart stores out of the city. The so called living
Wage ordinance that would have required mega retailers in Chicago
to pay their workers higher wages, was successfully turned back

(00:21):
yesterday as supporters on the City Council couldn't muster enough
votes to override the veto of the mayor. Richard Daily
Daily veto the ordinance this week, saying it would cost
the city jobs that would hurt people who need those
jobs the most. He was able to convince enough aldermen
who voted in favor of the ordinance in July to
change their votes. Vote was eighteen in favor of overriding

(00:43):
the veto, which was three short of the necessary votes
to do so. Here is Brian in Chicago. Welcome sir.
It's great to have you on the E I B Network. Rush.
It is an honor. I am thrilled. This is gonna
be my talk of the week with everybody. Um yeah,
coming from the land with Floyd on Walmart are illegal.
I got two things I want to tell you really quick.
One by thinking on Walmart, why Democrats don't like it

(01:06):
is because Walmart has managed to fill a lot of
the promises the Democratic Party has not been able to fulfill.
And they did it solely based off of the rules
of capitalism. And I think one of the things that
angers them very much at Walmart. They're doing what they
do and for doing what they've done. Oh, there's no question.
We touched on this a little earlier in the in
the program. I think it's even more detailed than that.

(01:28):
There's no question that they they resent middle class success um.
But but here you have to understand the liberal attitude.
Liberals are arrogantly condescending. The last thing liberals want is
to be thought of as part of the middle class.
They're above all that. These people are our elitists, and
and the people that are enjoying life at Walmart, working

(01:51):
there and shopping there, uh don't need liberals. It's it's
an affront. It's an offense to liberalism. That's something like this,
like Walmart could become so big and so successful in
the middle class because liberals look at themselves as the
providers for the middle class and it just offends them.
And so they have this arrogance towards these people. They
have an arrogance towards most everybody can't do what's right

(02:13):
in life, can't make the right decision, is not smart enough.
There is a contempt and an arrogance for these people.
And when these people have this product in this place,
and the people work, they're happy, and the people shop
there enjoy the benefits they get from shopping there, it
just makes them med say, how come they don't appreciate us?
And these people become enemies, and so the shop, the
whole company must be attacked and shut down so that

(02:36):
liberals will once again control those people's lives and fortunes. Yes,
and this is tied to the second thing of whenever up.
When you were talking about women, I gotta tell you Rush,
my girlfriend, greatest girl in the world. Where I found her.
She was she was nineteen is, about four or five
years ago. And her and her family they're all they're
all liberals, They're all democrats. They all you know that
the parents were divorced, and her and her brothers and sisters,

(02:57):
they all they were taught was just you know, wait
till the check comes in from dad. The money was
just spent on garbage. They were just you know, wait
for welfare to come in, wait for the grandparents to
take care of things. The grandparents will pay for the house.
Everything was taken care of. And they were never taught
to think for themselves, and they were never taught to
go out and work for themselves, to always depend on
other people. And my girlfriend, I I found her. She's

(03:20):
working at a comic bookshop, and I love her so much.
I started in stilling these conservative values, you know, to
to think for yourself, to keep your compassion, but to
not depend on others. And I'm telling you, you know,
we to this day. She's twenty three years old, she
owns her own house, she has a degree. She's working
Doubt Town, doing what she likes to do. She wants
to be an accountant, so she's doing what she wants

(03:42):
to do Doubt Town in the building next to the
Sears Tower. She's swilled. She she signed the deal for
her own house at twenty three years old. She's going
towards her master's degree, she's going towards her c p A.
She's already got ideas of of of you know, being
her own boss in five ten years, having her own
Let me ask you a question and then a follow
up is she white? All right? Uh well, not that

(04:06):
there's no need for a follow up question. I'm just
gonna tell you that, not personally, but a woman like
your girlfriend is an enemy to liberals, and to explain
her success, they can't reward her. They can't say she's
got ambition, she's willing to work hard, because that's not
possible in America anymore. Bush is so ruined the economy

(04:27):
that the only way this could be happening is with
some sort of favoritism or other people with less advantages,
fewer advantages are are not being uh treated fairly, and
she's being uh treated uh in a in a in
a in a way that that discriminates against others. They
cannot credit individual success. They simply can't. They want to
punish it with high taxes. They want to make it

(04:50):
tough for people who succeed to continue to succeed because
they resent it, they look down upon it, and they
will excuse it. And the last thing they will do
is credit people like your girlfriend for their own success,
saying there had to It's just like when they lose elections.
It can't because people aren't voting for him. It has
to be because people are cheating and monking with the chad's,

(05:10):
the ballots and the voting machines, same token, your girls,
go ahead, go ahead, you got ten seconds, though time
is dwindling here on the network. She worked the serving job,
you know, back when she was still making money to
pay for college. And back then, everybody, you know, they
loved her. They all got along. And as soon as
he was kind of writing out that they kind of
turned against her for that reason. Well, you I can

(05:31):
tell you're you're proud as you can be of her,
And that's fabulous. I I love hearing calls like this.
You should continue to be
