[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issues with Walmart is that it is both the biggest employer of people on food stamps, and the company that raises the most revenue from SNAP benefit dollars. In a sense, SNAP benefits serve as a stimulus to Walmart so they don't need to pay their employees a living wage.  On top of that, members of the founding family are among the seven richest people in the United states.

While other companies are just as bad in terms of their minimum wage workers, no other company operates on the sheer scale that Walmart does.  I just think it's a symbol of what is wrong with this country right now.[/quote]

I understand the allure of cheap prices. I'm a thrift shop shopper, I love flea markets, church sales, yard sales, you name it. At the same time, I refuse to shop at Walmart, and I am making a conscious effort NOT to purchase anything made in China, and to buy American as often as I can. The problem is that Walmart has pushed so many American businesses overseas that it's tough to find American-made goods at any affordable price.

The only way to kill off Walmart is to refuse to purchase the junk they sell. Look around your houses, people!! Do you need all the crap you have? Do you use half of it?

Buying Walmart and other discounters' crap is not helping OUR economy! It's fueling the economies of other nations, China in particular. Vote with your dollars and buy American!

Of course, I'm dreaming, dreaming.... Americans love those low, low prices, and turn a blind eye to the damage all that buying of junk is doing to our planet. Of course I'll keep doing what I do, but I don't see too many people willing to see beyond those low prices and take action to reverse the damage Walmart has done not just to our local businesses, but to our world.
