God bless America....

But why is it just Walmart?

I am honestly curious. Not being a troll. Doesnt Target, Meijers, Best Buy, all major retailers also do what Walmart does? Give crappy benefits, ****ty pay, outsourced?

Hey folks, that's FREE ENTERPRISE in action. Business has a RIGHT to do that - so welcome to the REAL WORLD - where economic THEORY encounters economic REALITY.

Yes, you are correct. I cite Walmart simply because many people who consider themselves died-in-the-wool American patriots are rather hypocritical in their lifestyle choices by shopping there and seeing it as the quintessential American business.

I probably do, I don't know. But nobody can keep everything strictly within a countries borders...that isn't how the world works anymore.
