Oh yeah isn’t WalMart wonderful? Let me do a quick Eco 101 or what should be called putting other companies out of business the WalMart way.

WalMart will cut prices to look good during so-called economic tough times. In fact, we took a stroll through a local WalMart a couple of weeks ago doing price comparison. Overall, WalMart was not cheaper on most items maybe a nickel cheaper on some items. The stores are nasty, customer service is horrible, and the meat is shipped in already packaged and frozen.

Politically speaking, WalMart gave millions to the Obama campaign and has backed Obama on Socialized Medicine so they will NOT have to pay taxes. To be honest, WalMart is that corporation that everyone has warned us about all the while enjoying the poor people (foodstamps, medicade,and other govt, programs) that make them untouchable because they are nothing more than a Corporate Welfare company.
Oh and their products come from “CHINA”.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

>”and the meat is shipped in already packaged and frozen.”

Well, yes and no.

YES, its shipped in pre packaged.

NO, its not shipped in frozen.

Fresh meat is shipped fresh. If its frozen at the store, thats the way its received. If its NOT frozen at the store, again, thats the way its received, with the exception of some sausage which is shipped frozen to maintain its freshness.

Back when Sam Walton was alive and running Wal-Mart he used to run commercials bragging about how Wal-Mart sold mostly American made goods. Times have definitely changed......

I think I will go to my local Target store today and see if they carry anything MADE IN CHINA!

Americans want decent products at low prices. Until we change our minds on that, China will continue to make competing products, which will find their way to store shelves and we will continue to choose whether or not to buy them.

While I appreciate your wanting people to buy American, unions and government regulations/taxes/interference have driven many companies out of business or out of country.

Blaming Walmart for staying competitive isn't going to bring business back to America.

Try placing the blame where it belongs. Our own oppressive federal government.

And if you want to “Buy American” - check out this website - http://madeinamerica.com/
