" ...accusing the U.S.-based retailer of selling low-cost goods at the expense of workers, farmers and public markets."

Hmm. Well, then Walmart should raise all prices 500%. Will the goods then be expensive enough so as not to exploit the workers?

Has the entire flippin' world gone mad?

WalMart is one of the big reasons Mexicans emigrate to the U.S. Mexico, a democracy (not perfect, but what democracy is) and a relatively friendly neighbor, and a member of the same trading bloc as the U.S. can also manufacture cheap clothing, electronics, household appliances, etc. (and does). But, to save a few cents on the dollar, we give "Most Favored Nation" status to the repressive communist dictatorship of the Peoples' Republic of China, where workers have no rights... except to shut up and not be shot.

SO... where are we buying our goods, and where are there out of work, or underpaid, workers. Right next door.
