I guess I could point out it was the president from Little Rock, a
couple miles from Bentonville, who signed the trade deals that took
Walmart from being a small regional store to being the biggest
retailer in the world ... selling chinese crap.

Clinton was all about selling to the Chinese. That's how they got the
technology to shoot down that satellite? It was our technology and
they
wanted to rub it in our face that they had it after Alemeda incident
with the Hard Drives...

Think of how much money Wal Mart has added to the U.S. Jobs, money,
taxes, etc. They are a big part of our economy, but fools think that
all
the money goes to China!

Walmart's profits came at the expense of the small mom and pop stores
they displace so, at best it was a zero sum game. The reality is it
was worse. Those "savings" come at the cost of other American
businesses.

Couldn't compete, evolve or die. Walmart started that way but evolved.

Result is 100's of millions live better having more stuff they want for
less money.

McDonald's did the same to burger joints. Kentucky fried did it to
chicken joints. So did Exxon and other big companies. Even Miller and
Budweiser. Don't see local businesses making beer like they used too.

So your point?

It's all about the unions.. If the fat cats can't sit back, do nothing
but stand between the management and labor to keep them fighting, and
suck their own living off the backs of the laborers, they are not happy...

It's clear you have a complete understanding of trade unionism from the
short period of time you spent loading and moving crates in a warehouse.
