Thumbs down

I am ALL for avoiding whenever possible, purchasing goods made in, or originating from Red China just because they are cheap, but places like Wal Mart cater to the millions upon millions of Americans that ONLY care about things being as big and as cheap as possible.

Those selfish, cheapskate US consumers could care less if they are made by communist Chinese children paid 6 cents a YEAR.

A very successful business model for lots of US importers and retailers though, giving the US public what it wants.

It's killing this country on many levels, though.
