Subject: RE: BS: Has Walmart been defeated?
A very well known retailer, L.L.Bean of Freeport Maine used to have all their goods made in the USA. Now, their clothing for instance, is made in Bangladesh,India and other foreign countries. Do they drop the price to reflect their cheap labor charges? Dream on...everything is still priced way the hell up there. Who benefits? L.L. Bean.
Some of their clothing is made in Canada and I don't mind that because Canadians have a higher wage scale than India.

Bottom line CORPORATE GREED.
