to answer the question of is wal mart good for America... no it is not. They do not support other American run businesses, their employees are under paid and given part time only positions to avoid benefits, hours are cut regularly, they employ illegal methods to avoid unionization and they hurt, not help the overall economy.
Yeah, they are inexpensive and while they cannot be blamed for the disintegration of the middle class; they and companies like them play the biggest role in sending jobs to other countries.
