When the Waltons made all those billions it came right out of the pockets of poor people? That's nuts. Hell, Walmart provides jobs for 2.1 million otherwise unemployable people in their stores. That doesn't count construction personnel or the economic growth that is spurred in property surrounding their stores.

There is no "wealth pie". It isn't like the money you make comes out of my pocket.

Tell that to the former owners of the corner grocery stores that no longer are. The supermarket that Walmart represents is what put them out of business...the "sam walton" of the nation now own what these people once did...and tell it to the thousands of walmart employees who replaced the corner store owners and now work for a far poorer wage...economic progression, I understand, but still a good example of the economic pie.
