Well said, pattyClink. And those old bankrupt stores, at least provided their employees with benefits and a livable wage. Not these folks. Communities need jobs with fair wages, benefits and pension, but these are the first to go in the Walmart era. They are replaced with jobs that leave a great many employees qualified for, and receiving, public assistance.

What price, I ask you? How much is saving a cent here or there worth? And one of the greatest myths is the Walmart pricing. Usually they have ridiculously priced loss leaders but the pricing on most things is not cheap.
