Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

By what definition, Jack? A trade deficit is defined as imports exceeding exports. When an international corporation like walmart is capitalizing on cheap imports and practices domestic policy that closes down US producers, then yes Jack, they are responsible for their share of the trade imbalance.

PS...the article substantiated the evidence contained within it.

You on the other hand continually fail to substantiate ANYTHING you post.

If so, can this persist indefinitely? Won't the superior business model win out?

Not necessarily. As long as Wal-mart believes it can make a profit in the status quo they might not want to take that risk of switching systems.

But no one is forced to take these jobs, even in a booming economy. These workers have calculated that the job is preferable to alternative uses of their time and effort.

This might be true but that doesn't solve our poverty issues. It only extends them.

They help the poor by paying them low wages?

Wal-Mart acts rationally as a business. When Dems understand that, the economy will improve.:peace

I guess California is getting rational and charging Wallmart for the healthcare they provide.

They don't have lower prices. Your in TX right? HEB. Kroger does too.

HEB does not, especially the HEB Plus stores. Fiesta, WalMart and Target all beat HEB, I have no Kroger near me so I don't know about that.

I don't believe their prices are lower than many other chain stores.

Obviously their competition in DC did or they would not have sicked the city council on them while getting exempted from the very law that they say is needed. ;)
 
I've noticed, in terms of prices, Wal-Mart is generally cheaper, though other stores often have sales that push certain products cheaper than or comparable to Wal-Mart.
