A lot of red staters also trash Wal-Mart for killing Main Street shopping districts, etc. as well as the new eminent domain practices.

As for killing Main Street - that's the same old free market vs protectionism battle... nothing new. As for the new eminent domain practices - they are unConstitutional and I think there would be bipartisan support to legislate that bad SC ruling away. I find it interesting that we frequently try to penalize large corporations for success. Yesterday it was Microsoft, today it is Walmart. How succesful can one be without becoming a target?

We tend to like competition in the marketplace. We enjoy seeing two or more companies slugging it out for our hard-earned dollars. At the moment Walmart doesn't have much competition, so it gets to be the whipping boy.
