RE:"Walmart is bad because it's big and running mom and pop out of business, yet no one is screaming about Lowes and Home Depot running your local hardware store out of business."

Don't forget Staples, Office Max and Office Depot that ran all the small office supply stores out of business.

I bet Zo-silence doesn't shop there either.

Not only did Home Depot anf Lowes take out the Mom and Pop hardware stores and Lumber Yards but after they did, they jacked up their prices. That must be why they are OK with the Libs.

Then there are all those High volume low price Auto dealerships that hurt the small, overpriced mom and Pop dealerships under.

What about those discount Stock Brokerages that caused Merrill Lynch to lower their rates.

I bet ZoSilence pays $300 A TRADE JUST ON PRINCIPLE!

I remember when they busted Walmart for using a SUBCONTRACTOR that used illegals to clean up. BAD WalMart. Never mind all the Mom and Pop Lawn services, Restaurants etc. that hire illegals directly and pay them cash?

Yes, the hipocrisy is clear

Not screaming but not happy. Remember when there were family owned pharmacies on the corners in every town? Hardware stores? Ah for the good old days of capitalism when real people could be owners instead of employees.
