Retail sales for Thanksgiving weekend up 22% from a year ago.


Yep, sales at discount places are UP UP UP... translation, people have

Sales dollars don't care if they're being spent on cheap stuff or
expensive stuff. The fact is that they're being spent at a rate that is
22% higher than last year.


What about profits? And more important, who is being enriched? American
