Communist Aggression is Finished, We Need not Fear any More
war Instigated by The Chinese, They Have Won.
Our Countries are Full of Dollar Stores, With Cheap Articles made
by Peons in China, Making about Six Cents an Hour.

Our Factories are becoming Museums Where Someone Once
Worked. Making $22 an Hour Union Rate. Even The Unions are
Slowly Fading Away, Why Pay Top Dollar for Fine Merchandize
When You can Get a Cheap Copy With Many Flaws for $1

Thought that you would like to read this one.

Food for thought !!!
In another 50 years and there will be no manufacturing in the U.S.!!

HOW BIG IS WAL-MART?
1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of
every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute (a 3.5%
Profit margin!)
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day
(March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +
Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest
private employer.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway
combined, and they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought
bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie).

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the
world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA, of which
1,906 are SuperCenters; this is 1,000 more than 5 years ago.
11.This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences
will occur at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
billion).
12. 90% of Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

Go to Any Walmart, Buy an American or Canadian Flag
You Got it "MADE IN CHINA"
FOR ALL WHO DIED UNDER OUR FLAGS, NO CHEAP IMITATION
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OUR COUNTRIES:

Walmart, although a great success story of business that has
brought cheaper goods to our homes, is also a symbol of America's decline.
Walmart DOES NOT MAKE ANYTHING! It only sells items that are made
in China. Walmart, is the USA's number one employer when at one time,
companies like General Motors, Bethlehem Steel and Westinghouse were the
major employers. This shift shows that jobs have left the USA for China.
Look what is happening to General Motors and Ford. Americans now work for
low-paying Walmart jobs when their parents worked for high-paying union
jobs - at industrial manufacturing companies that are now in China.***

No wonder today's consumers are borrowing heavily and maxing out their
credit just to sustain the standard of living achieved by their parents!
You don't have to be a Wall Street economist to see where all this is
heading!

Its called economic growth. The next step in industrial nations is to concentrate on the service industry. Change is not always a bad thing. Let it go and see where it leads us.

And.....if it doesn't suit us ????

Where it leads us is a global equalization of lifestyle. We can stop grumping about those people who subsist on rice and live seven to a room, because soon it will be us.

No one likes the changes as it seems to be killing some of our cities but there doesn't seem to be much we can do about this. I guess going with the flow isn't right, but if no one unites and fights, the battle won't be won.
We try not to support stores that carry big price items that we know come from slave labour but I have to confess to being a Dollar Store addict myself.

I was reading about real estate in Detroit a couple of nights ago...so unreal....people losing their homes because they now have no job.
A foreclosure paradise for those who have money.
I dunno....whatever way I look at it.....I can't agree with Rescue's post that it's simply economic growth......I think that some people have their heads in the sand.

Jobs shift to the cheapest labor markets. It has happened since the beginnings of industrialization, and there's no way to artificially stop the movement of industry to cheaper labor without artificially inflating prices (Tariffs).

Thats true.
But Chinese people and middle easten people here in Australia give the majority of their business to their own respective groups, even if it is more expensive. Ther'es nothing artificial about that.
