To no one's surprise, the Chicago aldermen (and women) have just demonstrated a woeful lack of knowledge about economics and a woeful lack of concern for the "little people" they claim to champion.

To specify your point...

Everytime a Wallmart opens, about 500 jobs are created immediately. These developments almost always spur other shoping developments as Wallmart is considered a retail anchor wherever they set up shop. Those other stores create more jobs. Then, distrubution centers and districts are needed to supply the shopping centers. Walmart creates untold jobs and tax revenue where ever they set up shop.

Absolutely right. To liberals, "little people" means "union workers". Those are the only "little people" the liberals are interested in supporting.

will liberals EVER learn? sheesh.

These aldermen have apparently never met a payroll or held a real job in the private sector. Liberal democrats are always generous with other peoples money.

I was listening to Larry Elder discussing this about an hour ago..........those were exactly his sentiments, and then he had some more to say.
