I cannot believe someone actually asked this question.

Is it good to displace hundreds of small businesses in favor of one large store? Duh.

Is it good to wreck small-business America by undercutting it with cheap foreign goods? Duh.

Is it good to put thousands out of work for one hundred working at WalMart? Duh.

Think, people, think.

Righter-than-Rush, you could make the same argument about not wanting to replacing buggies with cars. I mean, what are we going to do with the folks who make buggy whips?

First, small stores don't hire many others than "mom & pop" and maybe some of their friends. Second, are you ready to force Americans to pay two to three times more for products?

Are low paying factory jobs what you want for American workers? Factory jobs and expensive products? You don't sound "righter" than Rush to me. You sound liberal. Command economies have been tried, and they've failed.
