Conglomerate!

             I completely agree with Anna; a majority of Americans have become blind and are slowly, but surely going more into a depression. She talks about Wal-Mart and the employee getting trampled, which I find sickening. Why? People wanted cheaply made stuff from foreign countries. This cheaply made stuff is made by kids in sweatshops getting paid a dollar a day. There’s really no solution to the problem; however, there is raising taxes, eliminating the tax break for the wealthy (being the 1% of the country’s people), or creating jobs. But it would never work, unless people open their eyes.

              I hate Wal-Mart. I never shop there; they are nothing but conglomerates and the county would be better off without it. The reason why is while they are doing well, the “Mom and Pops” store down the street is going out of business. Yeah sure, they can try and get a job at Wal-Mart, but who would want to work for a company that put them out of business in the first place? Someone who needs to put food on the table, that’s who. My sister and brother-in-law own a video game store; they are doing well. However, the games they have are available to buy at Wal-Mart for cheaper. So, they have to compete with that, and it’s not right. Their store, in my opinion, is amazing. Also, their customer service is without a doubt unquestionable; which goes for all privately owned businesses. I suppose that’s why people keep going back. However, I guess having manners and knowledge of their products is not enough, and the cheap, bad-mannered, unknowledgeable giant corporations are better.
