WALMART : THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE : A ROBERT GREENWALD FILM : DVD RECOMMENDATION

You have to see this film, even if - especially if - you work for Walmart or shop there. This film is about how the lower cost of made in China and other sweat shop tolerant countries puts small businesses out of business, makes employees dependent on government housing, food stamps, and medical care, and breaks unions. It includes interviews with ex employees including upper management.

WHY SHOULD YOU WORK FULL TIME and still need Section 8 apartments, Medicare, or Food Stamps? OK, now some of this is about your decisions such as having more children than you could afford, even if that is one child, and some of it is about not being qualified for a higher paying job somewhere else, but the WALTON FAMILY IS WORTH BILLIONS while their company promotions and the reality of working there just don't match. (See the conditions that Chinese live and work in to save you a dollar.)

We know how this works. Currently we have wasted about $100 on made in China products that we bought in dollar or discount stores, often because we were running out of time and threw something in the shopping cart. In our landfills now sit 2 umbrellas, a bathmat (that lasted 6 months before ripping underfoot), plastic bowls, etc. See we aren't perfect. We're striving, like you to find and buy American-made products of fine quality - lasting value.

We at PATRIOTIC PURCHASE have advised you not to buy products made in China or other sweatshop tolerant countries. We've advised you to not put fellow American's out of work. Do we hate the Chinese people? No we do not. We know that they have a culture that is not our own and believe they need to work out their own problems. Currently the way to work out their problems is to manufacture for below American market prices, then buy as much realestate in the United States.

Off the subject, Walmart, a little. We are proud to say that through there is a Walmart not far from where we live, we rarely go there. We will go to Target, K-mart, or another" five and dime" before we will go to Walmart.
