So, why do liberals that I know always give me a hard time about shopping at Walmart because...?

of unfair labor practices, and because "every" product they sell is made in China, when all of them use Apple computers and Apple products?

It seems to me that if unfair labor practices and made in China was an issue for them, then they would buy an American made computer.

Oh, and before you say that you cannot buy a computer that is made in America, you can. Sysemax is just one company that does make their products in America.

    My brother is the same way.

    He was nagging me about getting an iPhone because it's made in china.

    ..

    He has an itouch. Lol.

    I think they think they're so much better, they can do the same stuff we do that's "wrong" and they're still "perfect".

    I think WalMart exists because they saw the need for many products at a reasonable price for the majority of the people.Some just can't accept its been a success.Yes there are some problems with employment but what job hasn't had that problem in recent times? If you enjoy shopping there,do,it still pays taxes and keeps jobs in your community.Oh and some products made in America are so expensive I would need to be a millionare just to buy them,even at walmart prices.If such a thing exsists which it doesn't in my state.I am a selective shopper by nature if walmart has the best price for the same item you can bet I will be buying it at WalMart.

    Good point, I don't shop at Walmart because I hate the store experience created by the employees who work there. But since we live in America you get to shop anywhere you want. I can say personally I would rather shop at a local retailer because they are usually more knowledgeable about the products they sale and appreciate your business. I don't agree with the way Walmart treats their employees, but I think that is a problem that will solve itself eventually when people quit shopping there because the service is awful due to the fact that the employees are treated so horribly. So you can do whatever you want, and I wont judge you.

    Source(s): I haven't shopped at Walmart in over 7 years.

    Would be hilarious if china just suddenly stopped exporting things on Corporate Debt too the U.S. Unless I missed something and the U.S government buys the stuff from china then the corporations buy it from the government?

    Send us back too the stone age, wait do we even make stones here anymore.....

    Apple products aren't made in China. They are made in South Korea and other countries. Buying American made products when it comes to technology is like buying a car built in the Soviet Union. It sucks.

    Walmart stands for more than just products from China. Your liberal friends don't speak for the rest of the country.

    Walmart stands for treating their employees like crap. They keep them part time and point them to the welfare line.

    I don't know. Wal-mart employs thousands and thousands of people. They often hire people with handicaps/disabilities and the elderly when other places would not. I worked at walmart when I was younger and it was not a negative experience. I even had health insurance.

    Typical liberals......they want to raise your taxes AND harass you for not spending more of YOUR money at other stores for the same stuff you can get for a lot less at a national chain.

    I find it hard to believe that without a microprocessor manufacturing plant in the USA, that there is really a computer made in the USA.

    I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart sells ear plugs. Problem solved.
