First, I never will even shop at a WM, they are ,to me, as bad as a terrorist group to America.

I do support and enjoy the casinos and stay for several nights not just a wham bam thing.

Do you really know the background of those casinos and really, really know where all that money goes? What about the folks going there who use their kids' food money to gamble? Doesn't that bother you?

WalMart employs millions of people. If not for them, where would those workers go? It's hard enough to get jobs period.

1st you and only you decide to gamble, case closed.
2nd Gee just how many stores went out of business because of WM. Family owned stores, your neighbors. Whole towns made into ghost towns across the US. Yes we sure can do without them. Oh and the folks that had the stores before are forced to work there to survive at all., period.

In my hometown, population around 6,000 numerous businesses sprang up around the Walmart. There were the normal fast food restaurants, several non-chain hometown restaurants, a specialty strip mall, several convenience stores not to mention several hundred people got employed by Walmart. Yes, a couple of the overpriced, understocked local businesses went away, but there was a huge net plus for the community. And other than the business owners, none of those employees were making anywhere near the pay and benefits Walmart offers. Walmart sponsors many local civic events and charities. You won't find too many people who would run them out of town if they had the chance. And just what town is it that got a Walmart and became a Ghost town? Usually it is the other way around, no Walmart, the town slowly fades away
