Lomedin So here we have a bunch of bush-followers, murderous-hypocrites, self-righteous Nazis claiming that wal-mart is an evil from China that is destroying their community.OK. Let me be clear: I'm against corporations, against the abuse of the weak and against laws that favor the rich over the less fortunate. I'm also against cheap products that destroy the planet, with the use of chemicals and pollutants needed to transform their raw material into the final toxic, non-biodegradable and easy-to-break mostly unnecessary little capitalist/consumerist treasure. Certainly, Wal-Mart is accomplice to some or all of that. But so are the "little" businesses. American products, generally, are not much better than Chinese when it comes to green production. Sure, there are more regulations, although they're either ignored or simply bureaucratic garbage that it's there to sound good and doesn't achieve anything in reality.Apart from that, blaming Wal-Mart for the destruction of small businesses is absurd: blame the same communities you claim to be the victim. No-one forces people to go shopping in Wal-Mart, so it's the customers who destroy all other businesses, not the corporation itself. Don't go pointing fingers if you are not going to do it for everybody involved. It reminds me, somehow, to the way people complained about Ryanair being terrible, with crappy policies and pauper customer service. Then I'd go: "So, you aren't using that airline any longer". To which I, inevitably, would receive the answer: "Well, they are cheap, so..." Honestly, people are plain dumb.I certainly am happy that families like the ones portrait in this trashy documentary get broken. It seems that whoever directed this rubbish thought it'd marvelous to show how these bigots love to kill animals "for sport", how they support the NRA and how proud they are to be citizens of "the greatest free country in the world".Yeah, right.

ALiberal If you have a Walmart (or two) in your town, take a look around and tell me what you see. Do you see thriving small businesses or do you see Walmart and a slew of other big box stores in domination? Does your town offer HUGE tax breaks to their local small businesses or does that money go to stores like Walmart? And ask just how much your town is paying for those Walmart employees to have Medicaid. Don't just take this documentary's word for it... ASK! Perhaps in a "Part Two," this documentary of Walmart could shed light on the enormous amount of IMported goods it shoves off to Americans at the peril of underpaid workers in Asia and at the loss of American jobs. Ask your legislator what they've done to protect small businesses from being swallowed by the likes of Walmart. ASK!

Danny Blankenship Sure Wal-Mart is everywhere especially it has populated small town America from coast to coast and just about everyone has fell in love with everyday low prices always low prices. Yet as this documentary proves it comes at a price! As Robert Greenwald exposes and shows the dirty side of a big corporate outfit that's dirty and they will do anything to make a profit. Yet still Wal-Mart claims to be champions of the community and fighters for the little people, but as you see example by example and step by step in this film low prices come at a high cost.Most telling is how low that Wal-Mart pays it's employees, as many can't even afford health insurance and disturbing is seeing how Wal-Mart only allows so many hours during a work week, and they will run short to finish jobs even making workers do overtime yet still the company will turn in false time to make a profit. It clearly does not live up to it's commercials Wal-Mart is not a great place to work.The biggest problem with Sam Walton's empire is how that when his stores move into little town U.S. they put out your local mom and dad stores that have tradition. As Wal-Mart offering everything at a lower price puts out the community special stores. Also of a note is how the building of new Wal-Marts destroy valuable and precious land of historical towns. And Wal-Mart doesn't seem to be worried about security as evidenced by it's history of crime on store property as the security cameras actually watch inside on the store employees who are trying to organize unions! That's another big negative with Wal-Mart they are so anti union and seeing the shocking footage of how their toys are made in China wakes a person up and it showcases that Wal-Mart is a business of corporate greed and dirty money they will expose a worker for profit. Yet as the film closes out their is hope many bigger towns are fighting to ban Wal-Marts from coming to their towns, by voting against the building of them at the ballot box. So I guess democracy still works. Overall this is a pretty eye opening film about Wal-Mart it will make you think before shopping with them again as low prices come at a high cost for most involved.

talfonso-2 I dread grocery shopping, especially in the most dreariest of places - Wal-Mart Supercenter. I had to be DRAGGED out by my family to accompany them and it's pretty boring to me! Robert Greenwald's documentary, WAL-MART: THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE, further fueled my animosity of doing grocery shopping at a Wal-mart Supercenter. Here, it explains that the largest wholesale retail chain in the US forces local businesses to close, has an inferior health care policy (One worker uses WIC to support the nutritious aspect of family survival.), is being racist and sexist (One black worker recalls a situation in which his coworker taunts, "Eeenie, meenie, miney, moe/Catch the N-word by the toe..."), and supports overseas full-time labor. The part that touched me the most is when the Chinese factory workers, Princess and Little Bear, lament on their work shift in the factory. The second most profound part pertains to the big-box-store chain's victor over small, local businesses in economic competition. Needless to say, this film was shot a year after the National Trust for Historic Preservation earmarked Vermont as a whole because of Wal-Mart's urban sprawl.This is a worthy film to view, whether you are a member of The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a relative of slain Texas college student Megan Leann Holden, or someone who wants a Wal-Mart-free community. (You don't have to be a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation!)
