Wal-Mart, in addition to providing wonderful things for our economy, is a huge icon for what economic freedom and enterpreneurship can do for society. Sam Walton began as a small businessman with an idea. If the oppressive left had been in total control, Sam Walton's dream would never have materialized. All of us who have a Wal-Mart superstore around get the benefit. People have cut their grocery bill by as much as 25% at Wal-Mart, not to mention the cost of everything else. My husband often says that Wal-Mart has everything he needs. I understand, though, that Wal-Mart stores are not allowed into many of the blue state areas in the country..Imagine that! I could not live where the local shop keepers nixed a Wal-Mart store. PBS hates freedom..It means they cannot rule. Go figure why anyone listens to their distorted view of life.
