Welcome to freerepublic, we generally like Walmart here, and despise unions, and the leftists that hate Walmart.

Many of our major cities (like mine) has such a strong and powerful left, that they won’t even allow WalMart grocery stores in the entire city, depriving tens of millions of Americans the freedom to shop at their favorite grocery store.

I appreciate the WalMart competition against the banks that I despise and that don’t deserve my business.

Speak for yourself. I have been here forever, right Jim? And I see Walmart as a blot on the landscape. I think the towns that have denied or managed walmart well in our area have thrived. but in many cases Walmart goes to less well managed towns and eviserates them.

Cheap is not the only thing I am looking for in life, quality counts too.

>>and the leftists that hate Walmart.

Do they hate Walmart more than Communist Chinese Capitalists love doing business with it?

>>I appreciate the WalMart competition against the banks

The "competition" manufactured by lobbying for Dodd Frank: 
 
"the fact of the matter is that while Walmart will save billions of dollars due to the Durbin legislation, mom-and-pap stores might end up having to pay more fees to be able to continue accepting debit cards than they did before the Durbin amendment. This is due to the fact that because under the new system set up, merchants will be charged  21 cents plus 5 basis points of the total and a conditional 1 cent for fraud-prevention. Under the current system, merchants are charged an average of about 7 cents for a $2 cup of coffee. The cost will therefore increase to over twenty-five cents – or about 4.5 times as much as they currently pay."

That "competition"?
 
How much of its Durbinprofit has Walmart passed on to the consumer?
