#2 is probably the main thing. Walmart’s game plan is to drive their competition out of business by offering great deals until the competition goes out of business and then charge whatever they want beyond that point. It doesn’t work like that where the competition is large enough to use the same game, but it does work in driving out the small businesses.
And right now the Obama regime is creating so many requirements, regulations, taxes, etc, that only the biggest fish can survive. The overhead is way too much for the small fish to handle. He’s doing this with manufacturing, farming, etc.
Only thing is, you’d think Walton would be smart enough to realize that the government interest is the ability to control. It’s a lot easier to control/take over the ones who can be deemed “too large to fail”. Sure, the communists will first drive out the little fish, but when there are just 2 big fish left, we all should realize that the government will take over the big fish and have control of EVERYTHING. And that ought to scare the heck out of somebody like Sam Walton.
Well, that and the fact that Obama loves China, and most of Walmart’s stuff is made there.
