What about the corner store that was doing fine until Walmart came to
town? The proprietor and his employees all made enough to live on.
Not once Walmart took their customers with Chinese goods made by
desperate workers at slave wages.

It's happened thousands of times across America. Those busineess
owners weren't slackers or lazy. They were forced out of business by
sharp businessmen who kept all the profits for themselves while they
pay their employees **** wages and offer prices the local businessman
cannot compete with because their business model is subsidized by the
low wages and crappy benefits offered to desperate workers. Those
employees go to emergency rooms for health care after they reach stage
4 cancer because they cannot get rudementary care. Their kids eat
using food stamps.
How many of those Mom and Pops had insurance or any other benefits for
the people who worked there?

If people didn't shop price, there would not be a walmart.
Ahhh....greed...it matters most in America .

You showed a photo of your beloved printer. You boasted about your
iPhone(s). **** off, Krause.


How can one who brags about his twin-Volvo-dieselled trawler talk about 'greed'?


Harry needs an IRS audit. Betcha they would love to examine his
extravagant lifestyle side by side with his and hers 1040s.
