But it was the people who decided where to shop. What is everyone's problem is this Communist night on the FR . . . From death arises life in capitalism. If you want the stores you grew up with to always remain in business move to Cuba.?

I prefer Texas, thank-you-very-much.

I, for one, am not a communist, a socialist, nor a capitalist. I think the concern, certainly mine, was how rural areas might avoid commiting suicide. I was wondering how such small towns could possibly offset the loss in wages and taxes when an oligophy, such as Walmart, crushes competition.

Do guns kill people or do people kill people?

Do Walmart's kill competition or do customers kill competition. Walmart cannot crush anyone without the consumer joining in. That has... and always be how capitalism works.

As for how small rural areas survive this, well the small rural areas have some say over who can build and who cannot. The question is do you think Walmart really destroys a community?
