Everyone across this country needs to know by now that chinamart will crush any and all local businesses.

I honestly believe that the corporate giants have already enslaved a vast majority of our citizens by confining
their choices to just whats in the boundries of a super chinamart store. Our whole society has been over-taken
by these mega-corps.Every town accross America is the same. You drive down any boulavard in this country and you will see the same stores with the same products and all of it is inferior in quality and produced only to seperate you from your money. No pride, no good intention, none of the that.
Buy local, you can find everything you want somewhere besides chinamart, it just takes an effort to stay away
from them.

This is just not true. This is scapegoating by the company's competitor's. They will use any lie they can/.
What causes local business to go under is several things:
Local politics, personal conflicts with the local politicians, poor economies and high prices.
In my small town a guy couldn't put up a micro-brewery because he had a personality conflict with the mayor of this town for eight years before the mayor left office.
So really, that claim is a bunch of nonsense.
You have to be wary of where crap claims like these come from. When you investigate them, you'll see that they're often a whole lot of nonsense by people who want a cut of the money and are using any dirty trick they have at their disposal to get it.
That's what this whole crap is all about, getting the money. It's not about worker's rights. That's just a smokescreen.

Call me a shill, of course.
Everybody has a right to a defense.
Especially against stupid mindless bashing that has no real basis in actual fact and is nothing more than a knee-jerk response or is from competitors trying to get the money.
I'm against stupidity in all its forms, and mindless hate for no reason with no actual facts is just stupid.
Regardless of the source.
But I'm not blind that there are some individual wall mart stores that do stupid things like discriminate.
But i'm not going to put them all into one lump sum and make huge generalizations about them.
