Well another aspect of the Wal-Mart you may not know is that they pay better than most of their competitors, have very good health insurance at a very low cost, profit sharing, bonuses, and stock incentive plans that they offer to their lowest paid employees as well. Some other big name companies would do well to emulate that behavior and corporate responsibility.

Now personally I hate to go there because of the crowds, but the Mrs. just loves them. As for Chinese made goods, well 30 years ago the same thing was said about Japan, then Taiwan, then Indonesia, then ... (well you get the point)

Oh, I'm not happy with the outsourcing done by the other marts either. Sending off to China for what can and should be made in America is UnAmerican, to the point that the Founding Fathers were against it (well it was Britian and France then, not China). That is why the emplaced tariffs on all goods that could be made in America.

But unfortunetly all that did was create the biggest manufacturing nation in the world, what horrid results. /sarcasm
