"What hysterial nonsense! Everything else will close eh? Not half, not one tenth, not 1/50th of the businesses in and around town will close because of competition from WalMart. And those that do, were ripping off customers by charging too much when WalMart brings affordable pricing to low-income shoppers, transforming the precious few dollars we have left after paying sky-high gentrified rent, into a Living Wage so that we can live like human beings instead of peasant wage slaves!"

Um, The jobs Walmart will provide are by and large are that of a peasant wage slave. Also, numerous studies have shown that Walmart actually depresses local economies, and a report states that for every job Walmart has created, 1.5 jobs were lost...

...How does Walmart provide those delightfully low prices? Magic? Or minimum wage - hell, the company has released pamphlets telling their employees how to get on welfare - there's that corporate responsibility you must be referring to!

You can talk about how cheap everything is there - but what you don't seem to realize is that things are cheap because of Walmart's practices - which ultimately do more harm than good.
