Where are poor people supposed to shop? Now granted, they are not the cheapest on everything. They are usually the closest choice for most poor shoppers. You make fun of the Wal-Mart shoppers, but yet cry for the poor, which usually shop at Wal-Mart.

It is no small coincidence that the people that frequent Walmart the most, are the ones that do not understand the simple arithmetic and basic economics of how Walmart and stores like it have undermined the economy and the American worker. Although saving pennies in the short term, they are seeing to it that they will never be able to afford anything other than what the Chinese see fit for exportation. They are also seeing to it that their kids and grandkids will have to expect even less in terms of salaries and quality of merchandise.

Leftist hatred of large corporations (epitomized by walmart) coupled with their supposed pity for the poor (actualized as true scorn and sneering at same, as seen in the OP) equals a three way collision in a wallyworld parking lot.

Oh I see the confusion. You believe all the people in the images are poor. I see now. You don't have to be poor to have bad taste.

For all we know, the guy pictured below could make over 300k a year and own his own porn warehouse.
