u and my dad say the same thing about wal mart but why?
Walmart employs people at extremely low wages and has an incredible distribution network, that cannot be beat by any other retailer. This makes it so they can offer prices that are far below that which anyone else can offer. Goods that are manufactured in America have no chance against Chinese goods that are filtered through the Wal Mart system regardless of how lean and efficient they may become. This hurts the manufacturing sector and creates a trade deficit. At the retail level, it is impossible for people who want to start small business in a niche market or any market for that matter to enter the retail industry at a price point that can compete with Wal Mart. It hurts small business and manufacturing in the US. The only legal manufacturing sectors in America that can survive associated with the military which only furthers the military industrial complex, but that's another story for another day. I would like to qualify this by saying there are certainly other major retailers that these statements apply to, however WalMart is at the forefront of this phenomena
