Stupid idea…To quit taking part in things you enjoy?
Get real! We would NOT find cures for all the diseases with just s few more dollars. “They” are wrong, and just who is “they” anyway.

Good thing Wal-Mart is racist. Inner-city commerce is still safe from these Hillary sponsored corporate welfare embezzlers.

Occasionally I shop there only when I am forced. My 25 years old daughter stopped me from shopping there 11 years ago as a objector to human and union and constitutional rights of a mostly woman workforce due to their greed and Government supplementation of profits in lieu of actually feeding their employees, with a profit margin like that, they can, but won’t.

Maybe the should be considered a restraint on trade. A monopoly like Standard Oil was 100 years ago and they should be broken up as a monopoly. Yep. They will ruin and upside down our economy in no time flat. The steal and manufacture nothing. Large reason economic downturn lasted so long.

Hillary for President, this is her handy work if you want more of the same, she is willing and ready to supply more of this. Think about it, she helped Walmart steal 133,000 manufacturing jobs from Americans at an average of 32,000 each. Yet we still have to supplement Walmart employee salaries with welfare, food stamps and medicaide. Walmart refuses to even pay their own employees although they are the largest company in the world. General Motors would never do that. Do you see what I see?. They crate nothing but a embezzlement chain from the American public. Hillary and Bill are real good at that. The treason and genocide they allowed my immigrant husband to get away with makes this pale in comparison

We have Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill to thank for it all, destruction of small businesses, lost of 133,000 manufacturing jobs in the 2000’s, Wal-Mart employees are a burden to our States welfare systems in spire of their enormous corporate wealth. She would destroy the American economy in no time and here is all the proof you need. Small business advocate, my foot. Small business destroyer, 100 percent. Hillary has destroyed more small towns and their businesses than any Hurricane, tornado, or natural disaster in America ever could. Fox for President 2016.

If we paid everybody $15 a hour like you want , what do you think the price of everything going to do ? First you have to get rid of some of your employes to cut cost ( so if your a slacker at work you will be the first to go ) ( the ones that do get to stay and get a raise will have to work like they have never worked before to keep there job ) , that really going to help things , then the price of everything starts to rise !

After reading this list, I googled info on the Iowa study. As I read through some of the articles, I kept thinking “but that’s not what happened”. I grew up in a small NW Iowa town of 5000. When I was a child in the 70’s, we all did the bulk of our shopping in the small towns around our hometown. By the time I was a teenager in the 80’s, all of our shopping habits had drastically changed. Yes, some towns in the area got Walmarts (20-30 miles away) but we didn’t go to them on a regular basis–only when we happened to be in that town anyway for a different purpose. What REALLY affected our shopping habits was the building of big malls in Sioux City, IA and Sioux Falls, SD, as well as all of the big box stores that grew up around them. All of a sudden everyone regularly drove 75 miles to go to these cities (or at least we all thought of them as “cities” compared to our rinky dinky home towns). We shopped there because there was SO much more choice, and at cheaper prices, than in the small towns. We also had attitudes about “Walmart clothes”–nobody wanted to be caught dead wearing something from Walmart, at least not as a teenager (we had the same attitude about K-mart, too). We actually had to drive right past a Walmart in a town about halfway on our way to Sioux City–we never stopped there.
I know my experience is basically what all of us in the area experienced. I have a deep gut feeling that the whole Walmart theory behind the decline of small towns in Iowa may be somewhat of a straw man.

I live in KW. Walmart wants to come and destroy our beautiful community. Walmart has started hate in our community. People here do not know the bait and switch tactics Walmart uses.. They think Walmart is going to save them from poverty. Really sad how walmart is more important than the environment around here. I was going to fight it maybe find a water park to put in but the abuse I get is not worth the battle. Thank goodness I live 30 miles up the road from KW. I don’t have to go there to shop. I will go the other direction and spend at those small business. Weird how folks want the small business to employ them but those employees don’t want to spend their money at the small business. THey want to go to Walmart. Really sad how naive people are. I heard Walmart is waving tons of money around the developers nose and the county can’t stop it apparently. I will make a call to a water park anyhow. I think it’s to late. the preliminary plans have already been passed.

Milk, coffee, baby food, diapers, bananas, paper goods and about 100 other products are loss leaders at EVERY grocery store. Working at a grocery wholesales, I realized that smaller grocery stores bought many of these loss leaders from larger stores. The larger stores DID NOT get better pricing, they just prices the products below their cost as loss leaders to bait customers into coming into the stores. Walmart does it too.
