So, its more of an issue with how Wal-Mart treats its employees than them selling stuff from China. Why not just say that rather than try to paint Wal-Mart as the big bad company who sells things from China, when Target and Meijers do the same thing.
I am curious, what does Target sell that Wal-Mart does not? Aside from the store branded products (which are likely made in China for both stores), what would target have that is 'made in America' that Wal-Mart does not? I shop at both stores regularly and I really cannot see where you get that Target sells 'American' goods an Wal-Mart does not.
