They destroy local business. When a Wal-Mart comes in, they lower their prices to the point where mom and pop businesses can't compete. When the stores close down, they raise their prices.

Wal-Mart is one of the richest companies, if not THE richest. Why are their employees paid so poorly? I'm talking just at or below minimum. They are one of the few companies that can actually afford to hire at a living wage--yet their employees can often qualify for AFDC.

They don't carry the things I normally buy.

There's more, but I think this is probably enough for now.
