The problem is Wal-Mart is given unfair advantage in business through unequal labor and business law; or laws that are applied unequally or not applied at all. Whether you like Wal-Mart or not is irrelevant. The effect their business practices have on all of us is serious and detrimental to us as a society.
I remind us all what Teddy Roosevelt said when J.P. Morgan threatened to shut down the railroads if his company did not get it's way.
Old Teddy said'" Tell J.P. he runs those trains or I'll send the United States army to his front door."
He also said "Walk Softly But Carry A Big Stick"; the best description of diplomacy ever given. I wish our current administration read history.
