Here's one I hadn't heard until last night. Did you know that if your non-profit organization arranges for a fund-raiser at Wal-Mart (car wash, for example) that Wal-Mart matches donations dollar for dollar?
About stuff made in China. Well, nearly everything is made overseas. Try to find something that is not. Also, while the people overseas are getting paid wages that we consider low, it is the best they have ever done. And people are working. About destroying neighborhoods. All I can say is that in Prince Frederick, Md., there was one hardware store - the only game in town before WalMart - that had high prices. The store is still there but it is forced to compete with WalMart. Some stores did close but again, for years they were the only game in town. With forced competition, they either had to put up or shut up. WIth the greeters - the funny thing is that as retired military, everytime I see the greeter, I feel I have to pull out my id and show it to her.
They are helping us with our foundation golf outing in Cleveland...Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation(www.mc-lef.org) since it's main mission is to help raise scholarship money for children who have lost a parent in the line of duty....I must say I was surprised at the generosity they showed us....
