I am fairly certain Walmart doesn't let it's employees steal. I'd be willing to bet at least $2 on it. -- nm

I figure you're right. I also figure ACORN HQ doesn't allow employees to give out tax evasion advice. - ty97 Sep 15, 07:22 11
- Of course, the difference is, do they have any apparatus in place to investigate/eliminate this behavior? - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:23 9
  - well, wouldnt this be answered by an audit report? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 15, 07:29 2
    - What audit will tell you ACORN's offering advice on setting up illegal activities? - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:32 1
      - any audit which includes federal funds will include a report on internal controls over programs -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 15, 08:09
  - I really don't think we can say it's seemingly no without more information. - ty97 Sep 15, 07:26 5
    - These 3 incidents are enough for me to be quite happy they can't draw a dime of federal money. - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:28 4
      - If these were finance folks, skirting the law to hit their profit and sales targets, we'd have the whole company facing the wall right now. - TFox Sep 15, 07:29 3
        
        the voter registration thing is a separate issue, but I would note that they're not allowed to not submit any registration forms, for very good reason - Reagen Sep 15, 07:34 1
        
        and they've gotten kicked off of helping out with the 2010 Census to boot -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:34
        
        actually, we'd probably be heralding their success as a harbinger of an economic turn-around until it all falls to pieces years down the road. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:31
- I don't do wrong. Not my thing. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 07:23
and I'm pretty sure Target doesn't use entrapment to get Walmart employees to steal, either. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:21 16
- If only the two issues were equivalent. My main issue with ty's comparison is they're not. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:29
- nah, the ACORN employees are guilty as sin of what they did. No defending them. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 07:23
- when you were small, did you put Hershey's syrup in your glasses of wrong, so later in life you would find it more delicious? -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 07:22 13
  - you mean there *is* a giant Target conspiracy against Walmart? -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:23 12
    - Have you ever seen ads looking for 'secret shoppers'? That's basically what the media people did here, it sounds like. - Beryllium Dawn Sep 15, 07:31 11
      - I got the impression from the article that it was conservative activists, not the media, that were involved in this. - znufrii Sep 15, 07:33 9
        
        It sounded to me like Conservative Michael Moores. It doesn't change what the employees did. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 07:36 5
        
        and I'm not judging what the employees did, one way or another. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:38 4
        
        You should be. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:11 3
        
        why? -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 08:15 2
        
        Because even if you don't think it was an institutional problem, what those employees did was absolutely wrong. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:19 1
        
        sure, but how exactly is that point relevant to any of the arguments I was making? -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 08:24

        yeah, because Senators are known for weighing and judging all the facts of a case before making a decision. *snort* - znufrii Sep 15, 07:37 1
        
        It was a pretty deserved punishment. 1 incident = isolated... 2 = sketchy...3 = a systemic problem. - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:40
      - Except the Secret Shoppers aren't buying heroin or crack. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:33
