Aug 20, 2008 - none of this matters anymore..the economic shock has been delivered to America and there is no turning back..soon it will be just another country like Poland,Russia,Chile,Argentina,etc..where the middleclass was dismantled and is virtually none existent..all thanks mostly to the good ole boys from the University of Chicago.

Aug 20, 2008 - wait, walmart is to blame for china making goods for us? Since when does walmart produce one single good? UH, dump ad people, walmart is a reseller, a retail store. They make nothing.

Aug 20, 2008 - NEWS FLASH......We owe China over $100Billion, we owe JAPAN over $600 Billion. They already own us. They dont need Nuclear bombs they can crush our economy at will. You better start learning Chinese you will need to understand what your master is ordering you to do!

Aug 20, 2008 - Wake up man. Wal-Mart may not actually produce a single product, but their influence/demands for lower and lower prices from it's suppliers forces the suppliers to produce overseas, namely in China. Google search Pillowtex and Wal-mart for one example.
all121star Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Wal-mart starts doing business with a company. Then buys more and more from them, demanding more production if the supplier wants to keep doing business with Wal-Mart. Then once they've become the suppliers ONLY customer, they start putting the strangle-hold on the supplier to drop the price, drop the price, drop the price. When the supplier finally says, "We can't go any lower.", Wal-Mart says, "You should consider producing in China." Then 4,000 americans lose their jobs.........

Aug 20, 2008 - and the ironic part of the whole story is that 3,999 of the displaced workers are shopping at Wal-Mart the next day. Unbelievable.It is a vicious cycle of greed that is the root of the whole thing. Greed from the supplier to make more money, so they get in bed with Wal-Mart. Greed from Wal-Mart to pinch every last penny out of their suppliers so that they can satisfy their stockholders.....

Aug 20, 2008 - So you would rather have the work done in the USA, where every highschool drop out can work for a union factory, making $50/hr doing nothing. Then my toothpaste costs $20 a tube and the entire country grinds to a hault. Welcome to capatolism. The money from walmart sales stays in the USA. The best thing, is they are getting bigger and bigger, welcome to the American dream. If you don't like walmart, don't shop there, simple as that, but to bitch about it is a waste of time.
StevieT Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Profits you mean, not greed, profits are a good thing, without them, we all suffer.

Aug 20, 2008 - I cashed my check at walmart but that doesnt mean I'm going to use it there. Who is going to be stupid to cash their rebate checks somewhere else where they charge you like 20 or more dollars to cash it! Great for China or not, im still going to continue shopping there like always, cuz its GREAT for me!
FriedDaisy Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - WOW what factory is paying line workers $50/hr??? I'm going to quit my job as a nurse & go work there.... c'mon, man. Get real. They make like $12/hr, w/ shitty benefits.If the United States completely stops manufacturing things we need renewed on a daily basis we'll be at the mercy of those who are manufactering/supplying them. Like China & India.Your right about Walmart money staying in the U.S., but it's in the pockets of the Executives, not yours (unless you're one of them) and mine.

Aug 20, 2008 - So what? Who cares if we're sending money to China. Chinese people are people, too. They need money, they need jobs. And marginally speaking (as an economist would say), they need it more than we do. And those anti-trade Democrats say Republicans are nationalistic? ... OK, well they are, but it seems a bit hypocritical. Goddamn.
dabigkid Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - At first I was glad that you're defending capitalism, but then I realized that you're not a defender of capitalism, but rather, "capatolism." Well safe to say I got really disappointed.
StevieT Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - haha, ok, glad you got all that by some youtube comments.
droneant Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Who cares that people send money to China? Perhaps the people that have sick or dead children due to lack of quality assurance of products. Frankly the only way to vote now is with your dollar. So if you want China to shape up on quality, stop buying crap that says made in China.
