Support America, go buy some 2 dollar piece of shit from China and cut the throat of your fellow American workers.

I support small business America everyday because once the Walmarts price the little guys out they can then charge anything they want and nothing can be done about it then.

Walmart gets very little money from me, I am not going to say I buy nothing from them but I live a half mile away from one and I have probably been in there 3 times this year.

I try to use small businesses around my apartment complex when I can, but for Christmas presents, it just doesn't work. I do almost all of my shopping online for Christmas and smaller online retailers just charge too much for shipping. It would probably increase my spending by %50 or more. Amamzon prime is just too nice to have.

You have a very limited view of economics.

#1) The importing of cheaper alternatives to american made products actually helps the entire nation live well above where they would if we had to buy products made here by overpriced labor.

#2) Walmart will run many small businesses out of the market, but there is so much competition from stores like Target and Kmart, that it is moronic to think there will ever be a time that they can 'charge anything'. Additionally, websites like Amazon, and dollar stores further drive down the margins.

Now, if you want to keep manufacturing in the US, then you should adopt the fair tax, and eliminate corporate income taxes.

Cuz...newsflash.... the corporations aren't actually paying taxes. Those taxes come out of the pockets of the consumer, or the people who work for the company.

Red ones I disagree with
Importing anything is fine as long as they pay the same tariffs to get their stuff here that we do to get ours there.

Go look at a Walmart parking lot at 1pm, they don't really have any competition
