On the recordFebruary 1, 2000
So much for Wal-Mart's big buy-American promotion. Since 1985, Wal-Mart bought 4 tons of Chinese shoes. Meanwhile, 240 American shoe factories shut down and 30,000 American workers lost their jobs. If that is not enough to bust your bunions, Wal-Mart imports 18,000 tons of goods and products from China each year. Think about it. While American soldiers literally died shouting ``better dead than red,'' Wal-Mart has allowed China to wipe their assets with Old Glory. I yield back the fact that Wal-Mart now owns, owns and sells 14 brands of shoes, and they are all made in China. Beam me up.
