This is so stupid it defies logic. The Moundsville area is absolutely bereft on any local merchants whose stock is anything close to WAL MART.

Graves says, "A product that they sell to us, for $14.95, a toy car, cost $0.18 to make. Where's that money going? Its going to the pockets of the corporation."

Usual leftist tactic: make up numbers that defy facts and logic and repeat them ad nauseam.

Horse hockey! A Super Walmart came to a neighboring small town which has since about tripled in population. Other companies saw WM doing well, so they too have come to our little podunk spot in the road. Thank you, Walmart! We don't have to drive nearly two hours one way to the city to do weekly shopping.

It would be more than fair that all persons not wanting a WM in WVA. to each contribute a small weekly amount such as $30.00 to a general care fund for those that do not have "paying" jobs in that area. Once weekly The pot is split equally to those wishing for WM employment. Any odd ball monies left over goes straight to the Salvation Army.

Note: There will be NO Administrative cost to gather and give out this money.

SO those that do not want WM to pay the present unemployed can do so themselves out of their own pocket. You anti WM nuts are jumping for joy over this suggestion are you not?

I just love how Wal-Mart makes these people nuts! That alone is reason enough to shop there.

Tim Graves, secretary of the West Virginia Green Party says "No More Wal-Mart" And as a former member of the people of eastern mountains of KY we say NO MORE left-wing fascist GREEN Idiots. They are responsible for the poverty remaining in the eastern mountains and they hate people.

It's really funny how everyone supposedly hates Wal Mart, yet the stores are always packed!

Personally I really like category killing giant chain stores. I've tried to feel bad about it, I try occassionally to go to some little rinky-dink, mom and pop alternative but am nearly always disapointed.

Sure there are some unique, one of a kind stores I go to. In fact for a few things, like guitars, I do shop at older established stores, with knowledgable sales people. But even these stores, I suspect, have upped their game because of the category killers.

[commish]

Yep it is so tragic that the people of this area now have a low price well stocked alternative to the relatively high priced low stock local stores.

[CajunConservative]

Look, wouldn't Walmart and West Virginia go hand in hand??? Maybe my perceptions of West Virginia is way off but dang I figured it was already full of Walmart stores.
