You don't get it.

The $11.95 is a better deal. You not only get a lure, you get to keep a local
tackle shop. You think the guy who owns the tackle shop will be as predisposed
to be as helpful and knowledgeable as a local tackle shop guy could be, once
he's forced out of business by WalMart and its customers and he spends the last
10 years of his working life at Walmart, greeting his old customers with a
talking cookie?

So then, you are saying, in essence, that you do not approve of
competition?

Should the government "step in" and prevent an American company from
being "unfairly" competitive?

Is the message you want to send to prospective entrepreneurs one that
says "be successful, but not too successful, or we'll have to shut you
down"?
