What ever happened to Buy American at WalMart?

Well since Sam died those days are gone for ever. Now it’s Buy Chinese.
Of course WalMart does not say this in any ads.
There is no question that the chain is helping accelerate the loss of American jobs to low-wage countries such as China. WalMart, which in the late 1980s and early 1990s trumpeted its claim to “Buy American,” has doubled its imports from China in the past five years alone, buying some $12 billion in merchandise in 2002. That’s nearly 10% of all Chinese exports to the United States.
In an interesting poll run on CNN’s Lou Dobbs show in May of 2006 The question was something like, who do you think is going to be our greatest strategic threat in the future. Guess what folks the Winner.. China with over 80% of the vote.

With the above known why do the American people support a company that is obviously in bed in a big way with Communist China. The answer cheapo goods. We are like Lemmings, hang cheap crap from WalMart in front of us and we will buy. Everytime you buy something from WalMart you are in effect supporting the Communist Chinese Red Army. The Communist Chinese Government gets a healthy cut from all businesses.
Let’s be real folks the government leaders in China do not like us, they never have and all they are doing is saying what they think the Bush Administration wants to hear. And they believe it! Well I guess Dunderheads can be conned easily. I bet if the above mentioned poll had been given to Bush administration cronies 80% of the vote would have gone to Bermuda.

As far as we can see here is what WalMart does really great.

• Kills American companies
• Sends American jobs overseas
• Supports the Communist Chinese Red Army
• Supports a regime that suppresses freedom and human rights
• and oh yeah, let’s us Lemmings buy cheap crap

The Brass Monkey thought Memorial Day would be a good day to post this as our Military has long fought for freedom and human rights.
The Brass Monkey gives a big ole wave and salute to our men and women in uniform.
