It's not contributing to the death of the American way of life, it is contributing to it. We get cheaper goods from there, people who would otherwise be unemployed living off the state work there, poor people have a place to go where their dollar is stretched, and poor old people can get their prescriptions in most locations for pocket change. If you are complaining about it being Chinese goods, who else sells American anymore? Walmart is hardly unique in selling cheap Chinese goods. It's too darn expensive to resell American goods, due to union wages and waste, high taxes, and overregulation. One example is that GM has to pay laid off workers for two years after they stop working, and we wonder why American manufacturing is in trouble?! Stop taxing corporations to death and overregulating them, and places like Walmart would start buying American again. You're blaming the symptom, not the problem. Why on Earth anyone hates Walmart is beyond me.
