Walmart helps poor people and helps make people poor .
Our laws made it cheaper to buy foreign goods. Our import laws should have only let goods come into this country that reflected our values. They should not be allowed to make goods for pennies and charge thousands time that for them.

The following is a new thought that I now believe.

The USAmerica has to give up on competing with the developed mass production of China and India. The USA has to develop and sell new energy or something else. The USA can't compete with countries that built cities to supply laborers to factories. They built an industrial culture.

1. I actually remember when the national Wal-Mart ads emphasized
that they were selling AMERICAN goods ... not that they were "always the lower price ... always" ... but that was when Sam was alive ... and it wasn't his kids salivating at their billions ...
