Jim, question: Why did all the retail stores close? Because they could not compete against a company that offered low prices? Or would it more be that the customers chose to shop at the lower priced store?

You seem to want your higher priced job and quaint mainstreets, but as a whole americans have voted with their wallets and their feet (or cars). Pure capitalism without checks and balances mean that people often do things that are against what they "want" because it satisfies a baser need.

Walmart's fault or the nature of the system?
