You could be right, but actually the reason that I believe that Walmart is the way that it is, is the death of Sam Walton. He used to have a policy that actually loaned money to smaller companies to tool up if could build a product made in America by Americans, if could and to compete with foreign products. The guy would actually visit the manufacturing plants that produced products that were sold in his stores. My brother worked at a plant in Middlebury, IN. that manufactured in part, store fixtures for Walmart, and may still. Sam Walton came and toured the plant on more than one occasion when was still alive.

When he died, so did his ethics. That's my theory on why Walmart is the Walmart that it is today. Profit for the five richest kids in the world, whom did nothing more than be fathered by him, and inherit the whole thing after his untimely death. If I ever get the itch to buy made in China junk, I'll go over to Kmart and get it for less since they have no customers. Keep Americans working, buy American made, by Americans. The heck with a "global economy" and the Useless-nited Nations.
