Walmart's not running other grocery stores out of business. They offer more for less - and the free market calls the winner.

I actually do not like Walmart because they DO run other grocery stores out of business

Let me back up here a minute and address the "free market" issue. I am all for a "free market" and I do not resent Wal-Mart for it's profits.

Wal-Marts profits have nothing to do with my additonal preferance to keep my money in the LOCAL ECONOMY. Spending at Wal-Mart sends profits out of my town/state/area.

I prefer Local Merchants in every instance. It makes good economic sense to build and sustain the economy where I live. I prefer to see my neighbors profit rather than some CEO living afar.
