However, blaming the guy who wants to save a buck instead of spending it on union benefits is not the answer either. Our manufacturing base left this country because of WalMart and that model. I used to work for a company that supplied goods to WalMart. They would dictate our selling price until it became impractical to make the product. All the while, WalMart's margin for the product in their store was 1000%. I can assure you, "buy cheap" killed us.

Our manufacturing base left this country because of tax and enviromental laws and lawsuits...not because of ‘Wal Mart’ imho.

A similar thing happened to the company my brother worked for.
