I am properly chastised. What was I thinking in defending Wal Mart? It is obvious we must shut them down. Finally America will be on the right track if we get rid of businesses like Wal Mart and turn it over to the government. I mean, what have they screwed up except Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, USPS, Amtrak and on and on and on.

And just to put a fine point on it, you would immediately lose 1.6 million jobs but that is just the start. There are millions of other jobs that will be lost by Wal Mart suppliers because they would have no ability to transition their sales to other distribution outlets. It would take years for new businesses to spring up to take the place of Wal Mart and even longer for the manufacturers to find them.
