Lets show these companys that we are not going to work the same job for less money. Also we are being laid-off good jobs that are going overseas. Why should we sacrifice what little we have to live on. While their pockets get fatter.

No need to boycott.
Put a letter in the mailbox from Santa explaining that he is going to be late this year. Go shopping after Christmas when the corporate world is trying to eliminate inventory and send your kid back to school with twice as many cool things for half the price that all the other calender abiding citizens purchased.

Oh, were we suppose to wait until Christmas? Sorry, I didn't get that memo. Honestly, our jobs have been leaking through our fingers since the Free Trade crap that was signed when Clinton was in office. No matter what the public does, Wal-Mart, K-Mart keep growing and the little guy is pushed to the side. The question is, what choices to we have now? We have to eat and clothe ourselves and.....news flash here....it's unbelievable how many 20 year olds and even older can not cook for themselves, sew or even grow a flower,let alone food.

Who are you going to boycott and what difference will it make? WalMart is the biggest retailer in the country - they are also the source of the least expensive merchandise. Why would people boycott WalMart to pay more elsewhere? Doesn't make much sense. While you have a valid issue - I don't think that boycotting is the answer.

I will never understand this way of thinking. Why should business have to employ overpriced employees when they can get the same services for cheaper. Don't you shop for the best prices? What if you were told that you could only buy American made items? Would you really be able to afford them? Do you only buy American made products. Bet you don't. So why do business have to? Sorry, I don't agree with you.

Investor want more profit on capital. it is only possible if they can reduce production or service cost. Salaries and Material and the most major cost in any industry. So if they can reduce cost, and produce some employement by outsourcing in some third world country than its their right. But i agree with u that it should not be up to that extent that it create unemployement in their own country.

I agree that we should boycott corporate America whenever possible. Unfortunately they are hard to avoid. Good luck.

Hmmm. I know what you are meaning, and I agree there should be a way for corporate %$#holes to catch Heck. But, what would you suggest we tell our kids about "Santa" not showing up?
Maybe we need to harrass congress and senators and our so-called representatives about it.

If you boycott them they will have to lay off even more people as their sales drop.
