That assumes no cost savings from Wal-Mart's suppliers which get passed up the supply chain.

A company is a company is a company. The suppliers don't have any way to save more than 10% on cost either and that is assuming 100% domestic production.

Of course, the foreign TV or furniture or whatever will go up almost 30% overnight. And gasoline made from foreign oil will go up 15-20%.

We currently have a tax system which is biased toward foreign producers at the expense of our own producers. The FairTax would put them all on a level playing field. It sounds like you have a problem with that. Why do you object to creating millions of good paying jobs here in the USA?
