If WalMart were a country, WalMart would be ranked as the 19th largest economy in 2003, not the 6th largest Sorry.

John Ellis: are the wealthy getting everything done by themselves? are they just independently operating out there and bumping into the non-wealthy? NO, the wealthy become wealthy because they get help from other wealthy people and non-wealthy people. I wonder if everyone gets to share the negative consequences of Capitalism. Yes, I think we all get to share the negative consequences of Capitalism, so should we all get to share the positive consequences? Well, that's a matter of indirect versus direct experiences. It's a matter of quality of life, I suppose.

Americans are losing jobs. Wal Mart is acclerating that process. Capitalism wins every time? Hmmmmmm. Well, someone has to lose every time then too. Here's the model:

Wal Mart buys foreign goods and sells them for cheap.
American businesses (commercial and industrial) can't or don't want to compete. American businesses (commercial and industrial) go out of business. Without jobs, all the low prices in the world won't make a difference. Eventually it will just be Wal Mart executives buying from and selling things to each other!
