Gee, Isn't Wal-mart Great!Yes they are great. Before people go jumping all over Wal-Mart be reminded of the constraints placed on them from government oppression. It's not their fault that it's cheaper to make a pair of jeans in Beijing. If American businesses could throw off the yoke of over-regulation and wasted revenue to prepare their taxes, then perhaps we could make some cheaper products in America. The minimum wage, OSHA, EPA, and the IRS are the problem.
And despite all this Wal-Mart continues to be a shining example of what we can do with limited freedoms. Wal-Mart fights the war the best they can to live up to their customer's expectations.

I used to have a construction company, prior to retiring ...I paid more in worker's comp than I ever netted and I had zero claims. But even with ALL government regulation removed, no American worker can compete with 50 cent an hour workers.
I cap on Sam Walton as he wrote in his book that he attended church and hence made spirituality part of his business plan. He would not confront the Chinese about their jailing of Christians, hence in my opinion, placed the dollar before his belief systems. There is a word for that.
