I will buy your argument about it being the consumers who ultimately run businesses out of town, however, one of the reasons the I do not shop at Wal-Mart as much as I used to is the treatment that the illegal immigrant cleaners received at the hands of Wal-Mart, am I the only guy who remembers that?

"the treatment that the illegal immigrant cleaners received at the hands of Wal-Mart"

The only thing I remember is that the INS swept through and nabbed a bunch of them. I don't recall hearing anything else.

By the way, Wal-Mart contracts for cleaning services. So I'm not sure what 'treatment' you might be refering to.
