Once again, I am asking, what goods have you seen in Target that are 'American goods' that you do not see at Wal-Mart?
If you dislike Wal-Mart for buying 'cheap foreign goods' you musty also dislike for Target and Meijers and just about every other retailer in the country, as I bet they have an equal percentage of 'cheap foreign goods' as Wal-Mart does. I really could not give a rat's ass that you hate Wal-Mart, but lets at least be honest about the real reasons why.
