As a comemrical just came on and said they save the average American family $3100 + a year, I would like to objectify and point out that while they may be saving the American family money, they are also ruining America. They have moved their headquarters from America, to China, a nation which is becoming a very powerful nation rather quickly. While not just moving their headquarters there, Wal-mart is also purchasing over $10 billion of their products from China. So much for supporting America, it seems as thought they are supporting China more to me. The products that they are buying in China are much cheaper than those of America, which gives the company an even bigger profit off of the product. They are not using this larger profit to pay their employees or provide healthcare, so what is their point? Wal-mart could buy American products which would result in supporting the American economy with billions of dollars. With the American families jobs/ products that they produce, they would in an ideal situation, then be able to afford higher priced goods. Wal-mart could keep all of their business in America, resulting in a thriving economy, instead they are slowly taking everything out of the country and with it, America’s money.
WAL-MART DOES NOT SUPPORT AMERICA:
Over 80% of Wal-mart’s goods are bought out of the country
