Capitalist theory supports the concepts of success, competition and most of all the profit margin.
Let's examine a couple of the claims against WalMart who excel in all areas of a capitalist system..
1) WalMart kills small businesses. Is this really WalMart's fault, or are these businesses just unable to compete and thus doomed to fall victim to any superior marketing strategy?
2) WalMart uses foreign labor for manufacturing. People demand low priced goods. WalMart provides these low prices. Should WalMart be forced to use American manufacturing and then rather than pass along the price to the consumer instead be forced to take less in profit?
3) WalMart makes too much money. Why is it such a crime to be successful? and Who gets to determine how much is enough?
These are just common examples, but feel free to add to the list if you wish. For those against WalMart and other entities please explain how your views can be seen as anything other than socialistic?
