The irony...business gives you jobs, money and consumer items.
You're getting it wrong - people work to create goods and wealth.

The local stores did not go out of business because Walmart moved there. They went out of business because their customers went to Walmart instead of them. The PEOPLE decided, not Walmart that the local business wasn't good enough anymore.
And that's exactly why we (and you) need a government - to stop people from making decisions that will hurt them in the long-term.
Walmart may have an extreme efficiency, but only in getting people's money in exchange for imported goods. Try to make it sell local products, and you can wave Walmart goodbye.
They used to be good for all of us. Then the Romney types took over the Companies and now not so good for all of us. Now we have a Romney type wanting to take over our Government completely. I don't see that as a good idea.

Government is a malicious parasite, it creates nothing and lives off the efforts of its host,the American worker.
Consumers in a free market are the best determinant of a companies product, not out of touch bureaucrats.
One dollar= one vote.

You should read more about the history of Walmart and "Made in the USA".
That will surely englighten you.
And those people are not "creating", they are providing labor for the company that "created" the product.
Those workers are getting compensated for their labor.

Absolutely, but people do need a government. Look at what happened in Russia in 1990's, when it became the world's most liberalist country. It was a disaster.

Consumers almost always choose the cheapest product, despite anything else. In case of today's America, cheapest usually means imported. And imports is a major cause of your economic troubles.

I've studied American marketing in America itself. Walmart's "we are commited to Made in USA" is nothing more than marketing.
Walmart sells few domestic products - that's a fact. Could it survive if imports were banned? Here we can argue to death, but my position is that it wouldn't, at least nowhere near it's current size.

That's completely wrong thinking. People create, not some LLC or Inc. The company's just a bunch of people working together.

Business owners are compensated for their ownership.

Retail sells few domestic products, and that is fine. We are NOT the most efficient producer of clothing, as we priced ourselves out of the game.
Haha, oh wow you are delusional. Perhaps we don't need a military, police or services either.
You are a grade A dolt.
Why do you assume that those services can only be provided by a government who funds them through theft of earnings?
Step out of your state made box and get some fresh air every now and then.
