[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Trump anti-Walmart?  I don't think that he is.

Wal-mart is fine.  I shop there, I save money.  That is good enough for me.[/quote]

great

Then you can send your child overseas to work for Walmart, too, during the summers.

I posted this on another thread and someone called me a right-wing wingnut.  I'm a Dem, btw.

Children Found Sewing Clothing For Wal-Mart, Hanes & Other U.S. & European Companies

Here's one from NYT - http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/14/business/suit-says-walmart-is-lax-on-labor-abuses-overseas.html?_r=0

There are plenty of articles out there illustrating these abuses.

So Clinton condones these abuses b/c she's making money. That's the kind of president I want!

Vote Hillary!

If you don't want to support cheap foreign labor, you better be making your own shoes and clothing or buying made in the U.S. (almost impossible to find.) 
I've made it a point to ask Wal-mart workers if they've worked for family owned retail previously, and many have. Almost without fail, their pay, hours and benefits are better at Wal-mart. There are many abuses by this company, no doubt, but as a journalist I investigated their wholesale buying practices, and was quite impressed. They rotate buyers in a way that prevents those with wholesale purchasing power from getting too cozy with suppliers. It results in higher quality products at lower costs, since the suppliers regularly have to prove themselves to new buyers.
I seldom shop at  Wal-mart - maybe once a year - but I think many Democrats act like simpletons when they demonize this company. The same goes for for Monsanto, whose products have had a major impact on increasing crop yields and reducing starvation in the developing world.
I'm a Democrat, but not a knee-jerk liberal.
I support Hillary Clinton because she is an intelligent woman who understands the complexities of legislation and foreign policy needed to move our nation forward.
