Not even close. I got an education to get educated. I didnt get an education to work for somebody else. I dont claim to know anything, but ill ask or pose questions to invoke rational thought or debate(Socratic method, btw).

I hear oldtimers talk about when Wal-Mart had "made in America" stickers on the shelves, indicating that a product was from here. Sam Walton died, import tariffs died, American companies moved production overseas. Americans, in all their glorious stupidity continued to purchase foreign-made goods at the bargain prices. That effectively stopped production here, as domestic companies couldn't compete with Chinese kids making a pittance. NOW, the choices are much more limited, as those companies that produced here aren't around anymore.
Yes, the consumers made a choice. Yes, the laws that protected fair trade are gone, with "free trade" being the rallying cry for the neo-cons some years ago. Buchanan wrote some good pieces on it as it began, and Ron Paul has even addressed it.
When we were the industrial giant, and the world's biggest food producer, our import/export laws were much different.
You can argue that gov shouldn't protect us from our own bad choices, but the results are in, just look at all the manufacturing going on here vs "there".

WalMart is to blame because they have grown so powerful. Govt is to blame because it has grown so large. Anytime something disrupts the Nation or uses its power to influence Govt, it is to be blamed and held accountable.
We have a history that when something gets so powerful it causes harm to citizens, we rebel against that thing. Even a King learned that Lesson. But there were a bunch of ppl who defended the King. And the good guys won out.
Ya know, if we would quit feeding the king he would starve to death. Do we really need Obama to tell us this?
I Dont feed it but I am only 1.
That's a start.
Do we really need a President or a house of Representatives? Id be Ok with Govornors, A national Senate and a 8 person Supreme court. A tie goes to the Defendant.
Why do you need the government to fix the problem. Can you not see the very sime solution that I have spelled out for you. DO NOT SHOP AT WALMART. LET THEM STARVE.
Sure I see it. Starvation takes a long time. By taxing the junk they import, we can actually gain something. I think the death of walmart will be at the hands of the baby walmarts.....dollar general. Main Street and Mom n Pops can compete with Dollar Generals.
The only death to wal mart would be a sudden 35% tariff on all imports. **** this free trade.
