I did, MarkS. Several times. Small business people, some of whom are barely getting by, do offer jobs to many people in their local area.

Super-rich oufits like Walmart, on the other hand, reduce the actual number of jobs in the towns where they locate, destroy many small businesses there, and provide work for millions of people in China.

That's the Oligarchy in action. It pretends to be traditional "capitalism", but it isn't. It's "corporatism". Corporatism destroys the foundations of traditional capitalism by wiping out the small businessman and replacing him with gigantic centralized but privately owned marketing monopolies that provide very little domestic employment for North Americans.
