We can argue about this forever. I'm not a total Marxist, but I do fall on the socialist end of the spectrum. You are a libertarian. We simply aren't going to see eye to eye about these sorts of things. I freely admit some of my core beliefs are personal and products of my experience. That being said...
Yes, people weren't coerced or tricked into taking jobs at Wal*Mart, but quite a few had no other options. Their choice was work for Wal*Mart or don't work at all. When it comes down to it, that isn't much of a choice, especially if one has children. The market itself isn't a level playing field. Wal*Mart has consistently fought (and won) against being unionized, which is a fundamental, constitutional right that should be ensured it's employees.
