Does it bother you that when you buy something ffrom Wal-Mart...?

Question

that you support the Chinese Army?

Answer 1

Yes it does. When the old man was still alive he prided himself on selling US products and supporting our country. That's what made Wal-Mart such a success. Now it's gone to hell. Not to mention the customer service they have now.

Answer 2

First of all, I do not shop at Wal-mart on a regular basis. I wasn't aware that I was supporting the Chinese Army whenever I purchased anything from the chain. I do know that Wal-Mart has done considerable damage to the local businesses where I live.

But, I believe it's the ignorance and greed of the shoppers (including myself) that has allowed Wal-Mart to become as close to a monopoly as it has. We as Americans, are seemingly less concerned with the repercussions of buying products, than we are about saving a few dollars.

Having said this, I can understand the various reasons for people choosing to shop at Wal-mart. In some areas, their prices are considerably cheaper and feeding ones family is of greater concern for many than contemplating the whole "foreign monies game."

We have made Wal-Mart the success it is, now. The average person, in my opinion, is just providing for their families the best way they can. I see nothing particularly wrong with that. I will feed and clothe my family before I give a second thought to anything else. I refuse to feel guilt for my actions when I know that I am doing what I have to do in order to maintain the needs of my family.

I seriously doubt that any average shopper, or anyone other than, "The Powers That Be" know exactly where any monies are being distributed to and for what purposes.

Answer 3

Supporting the Chinese Army is what an American does when buying something from Wal-Mart since most of its products are made in China.

Answer 4

Unknowingly most people do. I shook hands with Sam Walton & other VIP's when I was a young aspiring, motivated youth. But consequently, with time I investigated the Corp. of Wally World. And yes, the low prices"Roll Backs" and support for Childrens Hospitals etc, seemed more like a glamorized cover-up. Made in the USA, ha! Ya Right! Made in China and Tawain is closer to the answer of low prices. Plus, I witnessed Mom & Pop stores dissappearing all over. I became discusted with Wal-Mart years ago. Now they have Mom & Pop as "Door Greeter's", if that ain't a slap in the face, I don't know what is.

But Wally World will keep on growing. There stock shares are rising again. Like the Rising Sun.

I dug up my information privatley, and would mention more names. In the end, Greed, and "doing it my way".../Sam Walton and all the other's that carry on this tradition, will get what's coming to them. I believe in Karma.

Answer 5

You dont support the Chinese Army when you buy something from Walmart. That is just an ignorant question. Dollars spent at Walmart dont go to the Chinese Army. At most they might eventually make it to the Chinese government, but not directly to the army. Thats like asking:

Does it bother you that when you drink your Lipton Iced Tea that the tea leafs were gathered by a child?

Does it bother you that when you put on your new sports shoes that it was probably made in a sweat shop factory?

Does it bother you that when you buy your child a toy, your first concern is if it is going to kill them???

Answer 6

It doesn't bother me in the least, because I don't believe it is true. I think you are just making it up to cause trouble. Or else you are one of those weirdos that see conspiracy behind every shrub. Wal-Mart saves me money on lots of things. The more money I can save on what I can purchase there, the more money I have left over at the end of a paycheck to either spend on something fun or put away for my old age.

Answer 7

I don't know or care about "the Chinese Army". That is completely irrelevant. I won't shop at Wal-Mart because of the great lengths they have gone to impoverish the American public and their communities. Wal-Mart is leader of an army of vampiric corporations whose sole objective is to bloat themselves on the hard earned money of the American public while destroying small-town American communities.

Answer 8

It seems to matter little if you shop at Wal-Mart, or not, every retailer is hawking wares made in China.
We must have wanted this, because if no one was buying, they wouldn't be selling.

What "bothers" me is:
With no one buying goods made nationally those industries no longer exist. There is going to come a point, when we have sold all our natural resources, and folks realize that you do not build wealth with an army of "desk operating do nothings", we will have virtually nothing, and become a 3rd world country, with no money. I *wonder* if China will be bothered to sell us anything then.

Answer 9

Does the same hold true for purchasing a Chinese-made item at Target, or is this Demonize Wal-Mart Day?

Answer 10

Not in the least. At least I'll have a pile of Wal-Mart receipts to show to my neighborhood commissar when they take over, so instead of sitting in a gulag, I'll be getting moo-shu pork in my own house.
