[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walmart and welfare go hand in hand.

It's not going to improve anyone's standard of living either by employment or by being able to spend money they don't really have on cheap stuff.

[b]The people who have money in DC who have their own money are not going to shop there. [/b]
What would have happened is that people from nearby PG county would have shopped there.

Walmart doesn't attract other retail as a PP pointed out because the stores are not attracting those with large amounts of disposable income to begin with.

There are other less large cheap stores they could attract to DC. Walmart is no big loss.[/quote]

Hm, our HHI is 240K.  Perhaps that is not a lot compared to your HHI, but I would not say it is low income.  I live in DC and shop in the Walmarts of both PG and AA county.  You PP are a complete idiot.  I doubt the good people of PG and AA would take their tax base out of their counties to shop in a DC Walmart.  But, there are many good people in DC who spend their money in those counties every day, thereby bolstering their tax bases.  [/quote]
