It seems your the Commie since you support Walmart.
You know what the irony is? You just typed your little rant on a computer loaded with Chinese parts!

Deregulation and cutting corporate tax rates will bring competitiveness back to the US. Do you think Walmart would sell US products if they could turn the same profit on them? Maybe the better question is; Do you think?

Dude, China is most definitely a communist country. What are you smoking?


"The People's Republic of China, along with Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, is one of the world's four remaining official socialist states espousing communism.[138][139] However, in practice, China's political structure cannot be characterized so simply.[10] The Chinese government has been variously described as communist and socialist, but also as authoritarian, with heavy restrictions remaining in many areas, most notably on the Internet, the press, freedom of assembly, reproductive rights, and freedom of religion.[140] Its current political/economic system has been termed by its leaders as "socialism with Chinese characteristics"."

Would you like to work all day glueing soles on tennis shoes?

The goal of a capitalist business is to increase shareholder wealth, if that includes dealing with "communists" (ha ha ha) so be it.
Oh wait, your dense, never mind.

You simply could not be more wrong, and your answer illustrates the chasm between progressives and conservatives. Conservatives are only concerned with instant gratification, what is cheapest right here, right now, with no thought to the consequences, be it the disappearance of main street or the slave wages they pay their employees. All those bargains do have hidden costs, none of which are ever considered by conservatives, who usually adhere to a "me first" mindset that only is concerned with themselves.

Walmart will sell whatever products bring them the most profit. PERIOD!
If it was built by Chinese Slave Labor, North Koreans in Slave Camps even, it would not matter one iota to them. We could cut tax rates to 0%, and if it is still more profitable to have a Chinese build a widget for 1 cent vs an American for 2 cents, they will still pick the Chinese over American's

They have no loyalty nor patriotism to this country and the sooner they go bankrupt the better.
They should move to China!

Perhaps if there is an interest in it for me to helping Palestinians, Hamas, North Korean Commie Leaders, or Iranian State leaders I should get right on it?

Only problem is the ones that right the rule book and OWN our government basically tell us who we can and can't do business with, while they have no problem doing business if it is for their own profits and interests.
Corporations are amoral. They act within the rules to maximize shareholders wealth. Sounds like you have problems with our legislators. I suggest you email them.

They are NEO Conservative Globalists that have no allegiance nor loyalty to any nation, only insomuch as they can use a nations military to further their business and banking interests.

The founding fathers would have all of these people hung and shot for what they have done to this country.

The Legislators and Policy Makers are not Joe the plumber types, or people that hail from the small and medium business of this country, but cockroaches from Goldman Sachs, Haliburton, JP Morgan etc that are also Globalists.

They have no intentions of ruining a good thing they have going.

This nation is a vassal to extract as much wealth and power and possible for they and their cronies.

Amorality is usually a good thing in business, whether corporate or not, look at the grief "moral" companies like Chic-Fil-a and Hobby Lobby are going through.
