Dollar stores have done more to keep down what we pay for basic goods and helped more struggling families than any government action ever has.
For that, and because they are based in the South, Obama’s O-bots in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are going after them.
Store chains such as Walmart and Dollar General often operate in under-served areas of town, sell staples at great prices and hire Greatest Generation veterans to be greeters in vests. These are men who stopped the march of Hitler in World War II but who cannot slow the stampede of women for a waffle iron sale when the doors open on Black Friday.
My uncle Mac says he prefers Dollar General because he “does not like having to get all dressed up to go to Walmart.” People going into dollar stores and buying larger size clothes have been the only thing keeping the economy going for the last four years.
A high school buddy sent me an e-mail saying the EEOC was suing Dollar General for performing criminal background checks on prospective employees. I thought it was such outlandish Internet misinformation that I did not even try to verify it via Snopes. It turned out to be true.
