Don't Buy from Wal Mart

Wal Mart is often never looked at in a good light. We tend to always point out the evils of the store and how it sells it's crappy cheap products to unsuspecting, minimum wage customers who really can't afford to go anywhere else. I'm not blaming the people that shop their that have no other choice, but other people who can afford to go to the Mom & Pop store down the road who choose a bargain product over a quality one, should immediately stop shopping from Wal Mart.

First off, Wal Mart puts neighborhood stores out of business. They implant these super stores into urban areas thinking they are doing good, I'm sorry they know they aren't doing any good. But none the less, they implant these stores and run out all the competition. They put every other store that was making a small profit before out of business and suck up the towns money like it was a super vacuum cleaner. Once the town's economy has dried up, they pack up the store and close with a profit. Not very noble.

Second, they make sure they hire workers for 39 1/2 hour weeks. You know what this means right? No benefits for basically full time workers. No health coverage, dental coverage, no nothing. They work one half hour short of full time so they can't be covered under their insurance. Not very noble.

Third, Wal Mart does guarantee the lowest prices in town...on the items in the aisle and facing the isle. Everything else in the store is fair game. I went into Wal Mart the other day just to check out prices on a new vacuum cleaner I needed to buy. The vacuum was ten dollars more expensive than the one I found at Sears. The only lowest prices guaranteed are the things you walk down the aisle and see, everything else is open for high prices.

Now comes the real evil of Wal Mart. They buy from China. I'm not saying don't buy from Wal Mart because the majority of their mass produced products are from China because I'm a full blooded American white male, but because of what China stands for and how their economy is slowly growing and over taking ours. We owe China, billions of dollars, maybe even trillions. Now of course, they can never actually ask for that money back because well, we don't have it. They could ask for helicopters and aircraft carriers and planes, but in no way is America ever giving away any of its military might, even if its retired.

In buying the cheap products from China we're supporting child labor and basically slavery. China has one of the worst human rights record in history and it's not changing. The keep children and women in factories making the poisonous products your kids accidentally bite on or stick in their mouth and get paid less than a dollar a day to so.

We all know about Darfur. If you don't turn on CNN once in awhile or read a newspaper. China is heavily invested in the Sudanese government that is continually massacring its own people for oil profits, racial preferences, and gender. China is supporting a genocidal governmental regime in Darfur, and by buying cheap crap from them, from Wal Mar, you're contributing to the human rights violations. Wal Mart needs to show its face to the real world, it needs to be expose for what it is. Celebrities need to stop endorsement deals with this company and start taking responsibility as role models for our nations younger generations.
