His motto was to buy the cheapest product available. He had a big USA thing in his stores, but it was because it got him business. Go back and look to see where Wal-Mart bought its products from in the 70s and 80s. Overseas.

You think Wal-Mart's got a lot of products from China? Check out Target. You can go down whole aisles without finding ANYTHING made in the USA.

Millions of people like WalMart. They vote with their money when they shop there. No one holds a gun to their head to force them to do so.

If you don't want to shop there, don't.

Buy AmericaN or buy America_? There's a difference. I think the company is doing an excellent job of buying America. As for buying American that's somebody everybody has to decide for themselves, I like low prices and high quality, a combination many American companies struggle with (heck, some can't even handle one forget the combination, I'm specifically thinking of Ford right now). Of course I actually avoid WalMart, not because of what they stock but because it's always crowded and it seems half the people in the store have never driven a shopping cart before. Blood preasure also effects my buying decisions.

That's what I thought. In the beginning everything or most of their products were suppose to be American made. Talk about changing direction.

Now it should be: Buy China, Sell America!

There are many American-made products on the shelf that are fantastic buys [e.g. Auto supplies].
