Why Wal-Mart Hirings Do Not Help U.S. Economy

This drivel was painful to read. I lost 10 IQ points start to finish. I'll just point out one thing. I'm not sure what the "government inquiry" looked at (source link?), but giving WM tax incentives to open a store is not done without the expectation of getting something back. Think about it. 200 or so people who had no job or income prior, now do. They spend it somewhere. Where they spend it, somebody benefits. Others benefit from Wal-Mart's low prices. Wal-Mart bashing is the most mindless leisure activity since someone first got high on paint thinner.
