Walmart employees cannot afford to get sick. If they do, they have a choice, medicine or food. This is why we desperately need national health insurance for all working Americans.

I didn't say that Walmart jobs were good. They are mostly pretty low end jobs. Your trying to argue one thing, but your really arguing another. "Walmart jobs are lousy" doesn't equal "Walmart makes people worse off" Why does the US gov give tax credits to American companies that move their business to China? That's ridiculous. Most countries don't tax overseas revenue at all. The US does, but it doesn't double tax it, if you pay more tax than what the American tax would be than you don't have to pay tax. If you pay less tax, then you get a credit for that payment. Describing that as a tax credit to move your business overseas is extremely misleading.
