Walmart is truly evil. I can't believe our government actually subsidizes a business like that. Many of their employees have to go on welfare. Talk about keeping the poor, poor and making the rich, richer.

That's capitalism.

Response to KAT: I agree the government should put up protective tariffs again. But if u think about it wal-mart only survives because we still shop there.

I work at a mom-and-pop hardware store. A Supercenter just arrived, and our sales this last month are up 20%! This is because Wal-Mart sells crap, and it takes 30 minutes plus to get through. People come to our store and grab a nut or bolt, and get out in under a minute! Thank you Wal-Mart!

to obvious man, Youll soon see the affect that a place like that does, sooo all the tiny shops will die off and youll see just big empty rooms when wlaking down town

umeixkl's avatar by umeixkl Mon Jan 14 14:26:49 PST 2008 (5 months ago)

why just pick on wal-mart? it's not the only big retail store. Oh, that's right--Sam Walton was a Christian, now I get it.

GOParty's avatar by GOParty Sun Mar 02 11:41:23 PST 2008 (4 months ago)

Wrong, umeixkl. The truth is, the Wal-Mart you shop at today(and I don't!) has deviated light-years away from what Sam Walton ever had in mind.

Chris7He's avatar by Chris7He Sat Apr 19 18:22:15 PDT 2008 (2 months ago)

Well, the millions of unemployed will mark the advance of America into a service and white collar nation. I still think this is wrong and that Walmart should be punished.

x_Crazy's avatar by x_Crazy Mon Oct 01 18:10:09 PDT 2007 (9 months ago)

I agree with jabbermonger... Nearly everything here is being made by China. If America keeps going like this, there will be no one to buy these rediculously cheap and poorly made products.

to jabbermonger, thats really true. i look at almost everything to find a "made in..." mark, and the only things that are "made with pride in america" are things like my Boy Scout uniform. even the little parade american flags are made in the east now.

promethius8's avatar by promethius8 Sat Sep 22 12:27:18 PDT 2007 (9 months ago)

Capitalism is the idea that people with money can benefit society by investing it rather than hording it. I fail to see how this wonderful cartoon has anything to do with capitalism. The message is about consumerism, which is a much different animal--best understood as the modern version of the "bread" in Caesar's "bread and circuses" method of controlling the ignorant masses (Faux News and the rest of the mainstream media being the "circuses").

GAS2007's avatar by GAS2007 Fri Nov 02 07:47:03 PDT 2007 (8 months ago)

If you are a middle or poor class American CITZEN, you should be scared to death. Mao Te Sung said in the 60ts that THEY would conquer America from within without ever firing the 1st shot. Now the ULTRA RICH have gave away the U.S.A. in the name of the all mighty dollar. " BEWARE ULTRA RICH; THEIR GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN ! " ( Looks like THEY will have the last laugh on YOU ! )

Wal-mart based on size Target based on the color of the cart Best Buy since its a Big-Box mart with 2 b's but since the letter is seen, it could be K-mart now what does Jib-Jab have to think about modern day Grocery stores?

Teeseeree's avatar by Teeseeree Sun Jun 17 21:13:28 PDT 2007 (12 months ago)

As far as I could tell, it was referring to Big Lots. The red carts, similar signs and type of items available... Strange that the store started out as Pic 'n Save, became MacFrugal's and turned into Big Lots. I've always wondered if they were still the same company or if the first two somehow didn't make it even though the whole world was there.

Yes, all of our problems can be blamed on wal-mart. what a stupid thing to say. you must be a democrat.

kbacas's avatar by kbacas Tue Mar 18 18:33:44 PDT 2008 (3 months ago)

umeixkl you must be a democrat because right wings like me dont like wall mart. It is true not all of are problems come from wal mart but it dosent help by making companys outsourse to other countrys and taking american jobs. Democrats they think it is a good thing until there job is gone the they wonder why then we right wings laugh at how dumb they are.
