Don't even get me started on the millions in cash incentives they receive from local governments to open new stores. In many cases they are given the land to build on and the city hooks them up for free with water, sewer, etc... all paid by you. The American taxpayer. They also receive millions a year in cash incentives to keep the stores they build, where they are.

They have already put the mom and pops out of business.

Do I really need to mention anything about the chinese?

Holy fuck some of you are stupid as shit on this subject.
