Many people hate Wal-Mart, but they can’t give a logical reason, except to commiserate with “Mom & Pop” stores, which tend to close when Wal-Mart comes around. They close because they can’t compete with Wal-Mart’s lower prices and good service. This is PROGRESS, folks! Mom and Pop can go to work for Wal-Mart and make more money than they EVER made with their little stores (after costs and taxes), and with less worry. But these people don’t think about that. They’d rather pay a much higher price for what they buy, regardless of quality, while waiting for what they want to become available, from the same sources. This is irrational, and they don’t realize it because most of them pay no attention to politics and thus know nothing. Many of them actually SHOP at Wal-Mart, for the lower prices, while they tell us how much they hate them. Many people also hate Target, for the same reasons. All they see is the large corporation, forgetting that ALL large corporations are made up of thousands of INDIVIDUAL people. They’d like to see Wal-Mart and Target and others like them go out of business. But when you ask them about all the PEOPLE who would be put of work as a result, they say, “Oh, well.” Unless they happen to work there. (Just common sense)
