Isn't Wal-Mart the quintessential American corporation?

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! With neo-cons, money trumps morals every time.
Star for you.

No Wal Mart is not very American friendly when it comes to the jobs they kill everyday here. And if you really look at who shops there... well you most likely have to speak something besides English to talk to them.
China is turning to a Capitalistic Society. Try buying copper right now. The price has doubled over the last six months.
China is not to blame for what they were.
Wal Mart is not to blame for what they sell.
The people that shop there are the problem .

Americans shop at Wal-Mart because of low prices. China produces them fast, how do you think they do that? They exploit their workers, some of them children to work in the factories. Then China sends those products over here so people who don't want to pay more than $5 on anything. We enjoy the fruit of slave wages and exploitation. That is communism for you. China has enslaved their working people, "worker's paradise" indeed.

The reason China has become so successful is because they are abandoning communism. Did you know you can now buy stocks in Chinese companies now? If you want to look at a country still embracing communism, look at Cuba. You think that country is doing well? And if you want to see the next country that believes communism is the way to prosperity, watch Venezuela fall down the tubes over the next several years. Especially when the price of oil begins to drop, which it will.

Wow, another sweeping generalization from a butt-hurt liberal! What'r the odds?
I suggest you don't shop at Wal-Mart. That way you can find some other store that doesn't import products from China.
In case you didn't know about it, the U.S. entered into a trade agreement with China to make less expensive products available to those who can't afford American made equivalents.
I guess you only worry about low-income people when you it suits you, right?

Everything comes from China because we can get products from China cheap. If all the products came from America Wal-Mart might go out of business because all the products would be much more expensive. Also China's economical situation is becoming much more capitalistic, they are more communist when it comes to social issues.

because china doesn't have many labor laws, allowing them to produce items very cheaply, wal mart then sells them and makes money off of America. that's capitalism, when its to pricey here, get it somewhere else.

Read the fine print on Communism. If a society does not have personal ambition, greed, or religion it will work. If any of the three are present it will become a dictatorship. I will add that someone recently reminded me that ambition should be listed as personal and not in a general sense.

Yes, exactly. Why are good Christian Americans losing their jobs to China?

If you ever shopped at Walmart, you would know that you are misinformed. Walmart sells merchandise from many countries including the US.
