“...based upon my observations at Walmart.”

What a profound statement! The vast majority? A WalMart ‘sampling’ surely does NOT constitute a ‘vast majority’.

It seems though you count yourself as one of that ‘vast majority’, you being a WalMart shopper.

You go there for the ‘blue light specials’? Oh, wait, that was K-Mart.

I disagree, I think Walmart shows a pretty good sample of the population at large. It has a smattering of well off people like myself mingling with the vast horde of lower middle class people barely able to waddle down the isle.

This article below for instance says that 73% of Americans are living pay check to pay check.
