Bronx State Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr. made headlines recently by saying that its a shame that low-income New Yorkers can't take advantage of those low prices at Walmart. He is quoted as saying "Although I deplore the violent incidents at some at some Walmart stores, I congratulate Walmart and Sam’s Clubs for their astronomical sales. However, I feel much more sympathy for the City’s poor who failed to benefit from Walmart’s bargains. " This is certainly a rare statement from city elected officials.
WalMart has a nice variety of things plus attractive prices
ReplyDeleteWal-Mart is the devil. As a poor city resident, I'd rather pay a little more out of the very little money I do have to support independent businesses. The few bucks I would save at Wal-Mart are better off going straight into our local economy, not to Wal-Mart's stockholders.
