Walmart is a huge vampire on the US economy. It gives lower prices by stiffing its workers, sending our manufacturing jobs to China, milking our welfare system, cheating our taxpayers, eviscerating workers rights, lowering the US standard of living, letting employees get sick and die, descriminating against women and minorities, polluting the environment and corrupting politicians. Plus in every town they've moved into they've put nearly every family retail business out of business, permanently.

So when you buy your $5 sweater from the sweat shop in China remember the real cost. Same with the real cost of Bush's tax cuts and Bush's war. Much-much more expensive that they appear.

Also, Walmart only passes along a small part of the savings they make by shafting the middle American workingclass. Most of it they keep for themselves. The five heirs to Walmart have 20 billion each and only give about 1% to charity.
