WalMart

Walmart is not good for the U.S economy. They are running hard-working, family run businesses out of business. These companies are trying to compete but cannot with a company that treats it employees poorly and buys product from places using unfair labor practices. People are losing their jobs because of this and are forced to work at Walmart. The employees at Walmart are treated horribly. They can't quit however because that's the only job they can get. All Walmart's doing is taking away jobs from Americans and therefore is bad for the economy.

I agree that Walmart is only hurting our economy. While taking away jobs by forcing small businesses to close down, they are forcing people to seek jobs at walmart. But the jobs there don't pay well, and have very poor health care plans. But it is very difficult for these workers to fight for their rights or create a union because they are so easily replaced.

Walmart started as a family run business and expanded to what it is today. Also, most big corporations use labor that is based overseas, as it is exponentially cheaper.
