I don't normally shop at Walmart but I was kinda forced to because I was given a Walmart gift card for 20 dollars for my birthday.Well I went to use my gift card the other day to use up my gift card to buy some socks.I couldn't believe the cheap prices.A package of 6 pr. of socks was 5 dollars and something.All I could think of was the poor laborers who suffer in those sweat shops making these socks without benefits and making hardly any money at all.That bothers me,thats why I hate shopping there.I wish I could witness one of those sweat shops with my own eyes.

You can. There is a documentary out. Its called "Walmart:The high price of Low Cost" I think its out on dvd now. Its really an eye opener. Should be available to rent now if not soon.Shows those sweatshops in action. And then they bought one of the workers from those shops into an American Walmart. She was stunned. It's a good documentary.

If you think that it's Walmart you are sadly mistaken. How do you think alot of things get in the stores that we shop at everyday. There are several chains. One more thing how do you know if it's a sweat shop that makes Walmarts merchandise. You might want to look into it before you go and make a rant about it.

Well,thats exactly why I put this Walmart post up so it could help clarify if what I think is going on with Walmart is, or isn't.I would like to know more about if this is just something we hear or is it fact.
