Say, do you remember the periodic brouhaha when some foreign firm sets up shop in the U.S? Protectionists wail that "all it will do is expatriate its profits," or some such nonsense. So why do these same people begrudge Wal-Mart for locating in China? Won't those profits come back here? Why the double-standard?

I am all for Wal-Mart for (re)locating in China. I think they should, they are effectively a Chicom company anway, and I hope they take thier stock holders with them.

Because they're ignorant!!!

The only good product is 100% American parts, 100% American labor made in America by a 100% American owned company. And if poor 3rd world children starve to death, at least we saved them from working.
