Some people have a very skewed view of the world and condemn Wal-Mart for the incredible rise to power. You see, Wal-Mart is a great American Company and Sam Walton was a brilliant man, with vision, intelligence and passion for excellence. I would be proud to be a Wal-Mart Greeter in my retirement in his honor.

Wal-Mart is the distribution system for the United States of America and those nations Wal-Mart moves into will be well served by over 212,000 skews and choice and low prices, Consumer Choice, freedom and variety. Wal-Mart is a wonderful example of what Free-Enterprise can do for the World. Still some say all the products in Wal-Mart are made in China.

That is not true at all. 46% of the products in Wal-Mart come from China and another 16% have at least some component made in China. Why not go read Sam Walton's book "Made in America" they buy American products first provided they are of the same price.

Many American companies are competing fine and their products are indeed on the shelves. Wal-Mart buys products, which have components in them or are wholly made from 131 Nations. Wal-Mart is the largest employer in the United States of America. Canuck, how many jobs did you provide for America Today? Consider all this in 2006.
