From Reason TV we have an excellent display of the union thuggery and economic illiteracy that prevents Walmart from opening in places like Washington D.C. and New York City. Of all the outrageous claims made to deny citizens the right to choose where they spend their money - not to mention their private property rights - this one is the hands down winner:
Walmart will make criminals of our children, argues Washington D.C. commissioner Brenda Speaks, because "kids are kids" so they'll shoplift and then "security will grab them."
I don't think I've ever heard a defense of moral bankruptcy used as a political argument or a business being vilified for "making criminals" out of criminals who steal their property. But I guess if you listen to the left long enough, they can rationalize anything if it fits their agenda.
