You are missing my point. I am not talking about boycotting Wal-Mart per se, but what I am arguing for is boycotting ALL products Made in China. There is a big difference. Does my heart go out to Wal-Mart if and when we are successful is doing this? Ha!

You say "that all this success (WalMart) is being built on the backs of slave labor and almost slave labor in Communist China."

Now, the implication here is that they specifically get most of their merchandise from China. You also make it sound like this is a purposeful business tactic by WalMart and it is different from other stores. Now why is that? What evidence do you have of that?

This isn't "only" about Chinese goods. If it were, you wouldn't have spent so much time trashing WalMart when it is obvious that they sell no more Chinese products that any other large retailer. It's clear you have something against the chain and this China rant is a convenient excuse for your hatred.

You apparently don't know about all the Americans whose jobs are dependant on goods they make and are sold in China.
