A Scary Reality About Wal-Mart's Customers: They're Broke (education, claim, voters)

people buy it either because:

they are moving into their own place
they want to upgrade their tv
their tv broke


...Walmart can only expand so much into the retail technology market before they have saturated it. The past few decades they had it good, because technology was expanding fast and it was becoming cheaper and cheaper.

We went from a giant heavy box if you wanted a big tv, to something a strong man could carry with his own hands. We went from thousands of dollars to much less. We went from bad quality to HD.

And people bought that from walmart, and walmart made profit.



...But now the technology has slowed progress, and it will be a while before the next big thing in tv
...People's home's have filled up with tv's and refrigerators, and these items are lasting longer than ever.
...But now the market has slowed down with these things, because people don't need them any more.
...People already have the latest hd tv, that they probably bought more than a year ago.




....So now the big retail market is slow, and saturated because Walmarts supply expansion out-raced demand.


...But people still shop at walmart though. It's just that their technology sector significantly diminished now, and the economy is slower.

That may or may not be true but nothing in this thread supports either way so it can't be the point of the thread.

The reality here is that the middle class has been squeezed to death by the "job creators" who refuse to pay a livable wage. The spending of the top 1% is not enough to keep businesses going.

Read my comment below the original post. It is my "point" and the reason I started the thread.

I'm starting to understand why the sheeple are so eager to turn the U.S. into more of a nanny
state. They really do need someone to look after them.

My sister just went to work there. Nine dollars an hour to start. It isn't full time, so no benefits, but the pay rate is good.

Nor will taxing them be enough to address our debt. Personally I wish the government would discard their policies that mostly address the top percent. I don't see that happening any time soon though.

Make it so.

Great reading comprehension skills lefties!

I what the 3d graph of the function of the health of the economy AND the rates of taxes affect government revenue looks like...


...Since the health of the economy is based on a lot more than taxes, and the purpose of raising taxes is to raise revenue to lower government deficit....

Actually, the middle class is BEYOND the livable wage. Middle class means you have more income than what's needed to spend on the necessities...

All you do is make a statement. You don't support it. We're a bit more sophisticated than you. We actually consider supporting data.

Given the history of your posts (like this one), we've come to learn that you post things that are made up out of thin air and act as if they are the facts.

Taxation and spending are tied with each other. You must tax to meet the spending.

...The government REFUSES to cut spending, so it MUST tax IF that's the case. Or else the debt will grow.


And it already is growing.
