Very well put. WalMart is a huge part of what is happening to manfacturing in this country and they are destroying the small towns they build in. I would be willing to bet that 95% or more of the crap they sell comes from China. Personally, I refuse to shop there. I lived in a small town about 10 years ago when they built a WM. I watched local business after local business get run out of business within a year of it opening. Everything from jewellers to a bike shop to a pet store. None of them could compete with WM's prices. WM came in claiming that they were going to bring jobs. Yeah, jobs all right. All of them minimum wage and almost all of them part-time. What a joke.

WalMart is evil.
