You pay higher taxes to fund Walmart's cheap wages. Most of their products are from China - where is the buy USA patriotism?
Walmart accounted for 11 percent of the U.S. trade deficit with China between 2001 and 2006, according to the Economic Policy Institute. EPI
estimates that just the Walmart portion of the trade deficit resulted
in the lossof approximately 200,000 American jobs in that same time
period. This likely forced more Americans to seek unemployment benefits,
another government program that many conservatives hate.
Those are just some of the reasons why conservatives should want
nothing to do with Walmart and their “low prices” that upon reflection
are really not that low when the actual costs are totaled.
Interestingly, they coincide with the top eight reasons why liberals should hate Walmart.
