Blame the GOP for all of the problems in the U.S. - got it. Democrats had nothing to do with it. Got it. R’s were the only ones with any real power over the last hundred fucking years. Got it. Anything the R’s did that was bad, the D’s were too stupid to recognize it, and therefore could do nothing about it.
Got it.

Holy fucking crap.

I seem to recall that Sam Walton started Walmart as a way to sell “made in America” stuff. It became more expensive and he made a business decision to carry other items as well. People flocked to his stores. The cheaper the stuff - the more people came.

To say “we” made a conscious decision to fuck over ourselves is a bit much.
