4. I'm so poor I never had a choice but to shop wherever the prices were best.

My son works at Walmart and we're glad for the job. It pays well and he's treated well. I worked at a Walmart many years ago, when most stuff they sold was made in America, and Mr. Sam was alive. Other than the family being more of a shit Republican group, nothing really changed.

And this is going to shock a lot of you, but Walmart isn't any worse than Target, or Macy's or whatever store you think is "better". They all sell the same shit, for higher prices than Walmart, and they don't treat their workers any better, or their customers any differently. I'm treated nicer at Walmart than I've ever been at Target.

This whole attitude about people who work or shop at Walmart is just another sign of the elitism of this site. Poor people aren't really welcome in your little group, and those who say Democrats have lost sight of the working people? It's all true. Keep treating us like shit on your shoe, and keep being surprised when we stop voting for you. The Republicans may lie, but they at least say the right things, rather than getting all ivory tower talk.
