Just how big is Wal-Mart

[THEFERMANATOR]

My point is simply that WAL-MART told them to lower there prices because that is what it took to lead in the marketplace. RUBBERMAID could have said no, and then sold there goods for what it costs them to build them. How is it WAL-MARTS fault that RUBBERMAID couldn't compete? If they wanted to compete they should have told there workers either work for X amount and HAVE a paycheck, or you can demand Y amount and have NO wages because WAL-MART will not buy our products? It wasn't that long ago that work was being farmed out to us because we had the cheaper wages and other countries wanted lower prices. I am a firm believer that history repeats itself, and the majority of mankind is destined to fail because it won't learn from it's mistakes. This holds true in ALL industries, not just WAL-MART. WAL-MART is just simply the giant right now. History will show that WAL-MARTS story is nothing new.

I know that my view on this subject isn't that of many, but it is just simply my opinion and view of how I see it.
