From THE WAL-MART EFFECT by CHARLES FISHMAN

THE WAL-MART EFFECT by CHARLES FISHMAN
How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works - and How It's Transforming the American Economy
Penguin Press Published 2006

Page 189 "It uses its vast market power to insist on low unit prices that are possible only if workers are squeezed to such an extreme degree that they can barely survive the long hours and low wages they are forced to endure."

Has Wal-Mart elbowed American families into poverty, all the while saving them enough money on mechanise to buy several weeks worth of groceries. This book is three years old but it's worth reading if you want to educate yourself.

Just how many products does Wal-Mart carry that are Made in the United States?
