The "Walmart Model of Self-Destruction"

"The Wal-Mart Model of Self-Destruction is simple: low prices are all that matters.
The devolution of the American citizen into a self-destructing consumer starts with the devolution of a value system into an monomaniacal obsession: "the only thing that matters is the lowest price," regardless of the true costs or consequences." Charles H. Smith

My sentiments exactly. This article discusses the social and economic consequences of the 'Walmart-Model' on our country.

Buy American!!!!!

Consequences:

Buy American: American Jobs, American Income, American Taxes, USA all the way. Success for you and me.

Buy Chinese: Chinese Jobs, Chinese Income, Chinese Taxes. Great for China, Shipping Companies, and the possibly if it isn't copied an American might get some design income.

Buy Chinese long enough, and the US economy tanks, like it is right now.
