   Yup!
   “Mall-Wart, your home for Cheap Chinese Plastic Crap” sucks, all right!
   We had a locally owned and operated grocery store here in Monticello, Ky. for over 65 years. Mall-Wart showed up, and the grocery store shut down within 2 years.
   If Sam Walton was still alive, he would have a stroke at what his money-grubbing brats have done to his stores!
   Anyone else remember when they advertised that they went out of their way to “Buy American”?
   Go into Mall-Wart now, and try to find ANY American-made clothing, housewares, or most anything else!

   Well said. But Wal*Mart couldn’t do it to us unless we allowed it. As long as we care more whether Kate (or Kim, or Kirsten, or the Flavor-of-the-Week in People Magazine) is pregnant than the real reason why we ship jobs overseas, we are doing this to ourselves.

   And people whose reading list consists only of People Magazine still vote, which helps to explain a lot.

   it’s more patriotic to spend your FRNs on cheap Chinese crap from Walmart than to support a dam union.

   One of the reasons the Chinese can produce things so much cheaper than us is that they have no unions. Thing is, their workers generally work long hours without benefits for very little pay. Even their prisoners work – at least the ones who aren’t having their organs harvested for sale to wealthy westerners. There’s usually two sides to every story and this one’s no different.

   I’m guessing “Federal Reserve Note”. Another right-wing lunatic who hasn’t gotten over abandoning the Gold Standard during the Nixon Error.

   Replace ‘Wal-Mart’ with ‘oppressive tax black hole’ and it makes sense.

    Sorry, but I look at the lables.
    Organic cotton t-shirts
    4/$2 plastic seasonal cups
    Tomato cages
    Yarn
    Children’s outdoor picnic set

    1. pencils & school supplies
       All made in the USA, all bought at Walmart in the past year or two.
       .
       Walmart beats out JC Penny’s, Sears, Lowes, Home Depot, Office Max, ToysRUs, AND the local grocery store for having Made in the USA (or at least Canada) on the lable. Though I do seem to have better luck at Menards (made in the US fake X-mas trees!), and I tend to prefer Target when possible because it’s a better QUALITY.
       I really don’t like Walmart, but the fact is, it cost money to ship it over seas so it’s just cheaper to pay a penny in manufacturing to save a buck in shipping.

    I agree 1000%

    There is one small city in my State where the local Stores out sell Wal*Mart

    If you shop Wal*Mart, you support their Union
