Yes, Wal-Mart is cheap and easy, and good for America, except for that tiny blemish of making deals with local county officials to condemn property under eminent domain for a new store so they can pay dirt cheap prices for it.

Wal-Mart! Coming soon to a county tax accessors office near you!

Show me a business that doesn't try to get land cheap via eminent domain and I'll show you a business that spends too much on land. Everybody does that, because various county and city officials throughout the land are eager to do it to show everybody how they're "helping". Don't blame Wally because county and city government officials are overdressed prostitutes, they were doing this to draw in business long before WalMart was invented, and will be doing it long after the last WalMart closes.
