Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
Well now, Old Guy, this is a perfect example of your blindered thinking, and your inability to examine data fairly. Does it not occur to you that one company, out of the thousands and thousands of companies, is responsible for 10% of the imports?

With regard to your comment "There's no question that workers without skills find it difficult to get paid as well as they once did, that employers are more reluctant to supply comprehensive health benefits, and that Chinese imports are pummeling American manufacturers." Whose economy are we trying to build? Why should we subsidize the Chinese who take unfair advantage by using prison labor? Our trade laws actually contribute to the increasing polarization between and ever smaller circle of people controlling the money. Why shouldn't American workers be able to count on the standards that have been set? Who says that retail workers don't deserve the benefits they have always had? Are we in a race to the bottom? What has the fact that low wage, workers in China (socialized medicine) got to do with whether Walmart should do with regards to the standard of living of its workers?

Your attitude is pathetic and Anti American IMO.
