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."

I would bet that a large part of that money goes to pay corporate taxes to line the pockets of the politicians. Is the problem that Walmart's prices are too high? ;-)

Well, the Greens are Marxists and they probably define the "cost" of a good by the base value of the raw materials it was manufactured from and the amount of money paid to the manufacturing worker to produce it.

Which means that they ignore transportation costs, inventory financing costs, advertising costs, sales costs, leasing costs and taxes among other things.

You are able to buy that toy truck because you heard about it, because it is available in your neighborhood and not China and because there is a heated, lighted, staffed store in which to buy it.
