The rues you mentioned to get on Malmarts shelves should not include firing American workers and moving to China. I for one dont mind paying a bit more, if it helps the economy and local mom and pop stores. I love walking around little areas of stores fronts. I know a hat might be cheaper at Walmart, but the day of fun was worth it. When Walmat moves in, they close down. Our city is now trying to redevelop their tiny downtown area. Building many townhouses, small shops, restaurants. Trying to make it a small urban area. Where you can live, and walk to all the stores you need. Its a very cute and fun area. If Malmart moves in, it would close many of the store and soon have empty buildings again. Its all a quality of life issue. You like quick one stop shopping I like looking around, going to corner farmers markets and looking through stores in a shopping village. Its fine to have both, but Malmart wants to be The Only J.

Re: [QUAD-L] Wal-Mart
If Wal-Mart moves into your community, the community can vote it out by continuing to shop at the mom-and-pop stores. If you took the average wage of the so-called illegal immigrants sweeping the floors at night, they still would not be paying taxes. Sometimes Americans forget that poor people do not pay taxes. Most people in the lower tax brackets get between 90 to 100% refund. There can be a Wal-Mart in the neighborhood and you can still continue to shop where ever you would like. Most Americans live hurried lives. They enjoy the cheap prices and a one-stop shop. As I was driving by the Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Illinois, I notice most of the employee cars in the parking lot were foreign-made. We all say we would like to invest into American products but deep down inside we refuse to pay the higher prices. T.

RE: [QUAD-L] Wal-Mart
No one should be forced to hire someone or sell something. But not all Malmart employees pay taxes. They have been busted a number of times paying illegals to clean up at night… off the books. The rues you mentioned to get on Malmart’s shelves…should not include firing American workers and moving to China. I for one don’t mind paying a bit more, if it helps the economy and local mom and pop stores. I love “walking” around little areas of stores fronts. I know a hat might be cheaper at Walmart, but the day of fun was worth it. When Walmat moves in, they close down. Our city is now trying to redevelop their tiny downtown area.
