It's evil trying to get the cheapest at any cost, and the most funny thing is that you don't save money, you have huge credit card bills and buy yourself a fucking cruise and drive a fucking SUV instead of paying off your debt.
WalMart grew as fast as US consumer debt.
WalMarters like u suck. I bet your children are all obese like you.

Sure.. there is that element sadly and, generally Walmart has (and still does) have a detrimental effect on the US economy overall. It's a corp, much like other corps - corps are not "benefactors" by nature, but predators, and Walmart sure is not alone in this.
The flip side is, got a "Walmart Princess" next door and she knows much of above already and dumps millions into foundations annually for what can be described as "the public good".
You can never rely on any corp to act in the interests of everyone/country without having media ads and a PR campaign - they represent only their shareholders - but, individuals within corps will do that without the "credits".
