The definition of capitalism is : an economic system based on private ownership of businesses. By this definition WalMart is simply a participant of our capitalistic system. Businesses are not required by any law that I am aware of to make people "happy". They are required to follow the rules of fair trade and commercialism and tax and employment laws set forth by the government. WalMart practices competitive advantage which is the advantage gained that makes a product more desirable than the competition; persuading customers to buy their product rather than their competitors product. Every business in existence practices this or they would not be in business for very long. Consumers are offered many choices. Walmart is only one of them. If you don't like WalMart then cast your vote by not sharing your dollars with them. Job seekers are also offered a number of options in the job market. Retail jobs are prolific and vary in difficulty, benefit packages (if they have any), working conditions, pay rates etc, etc, etc. If you are seeking employment in this arena and feel that WalMart is unfair or substandard in some way then I would say, don't fill out your application for WalMart. If WalMart is conducting business in an unethical or illegal manner then I would beseech those that are being subjected to these indignities to speak up on their own behalf, there are many ways to do this. That WalMart outsources jobs, well, so do many other companies. Dell, Microsoft, Comcast etc. etc. etc. this is not an illegal practice that I am aware of and I am sure that the folks in China and India are grateful for the opportunity to work as much as anyone in this country. People in the United States are not the only people who need to work and provide for their families.
WalMart. I am neither for it nor am I against it. It is a retail store. I am a consumer. I can make my choice based on my personal needs. The debate will continue ad nauseum, until we move on to the next topic. And there will always be one of this I am certain. My best advice to anyone: consult your own higher authority when making decisions regarding your personal practices.
