As far as fair play goes, Joe, I think is right. But the very people who
shop at Wal*Mart are the same folks who are the most susceptible to falling
for the empty promises of obsequious politicians who promise them that they
will create "jobs" for them. What government jobs? Whereas Ez took on the
Keynesians the current cabal of liars have opened up all the stops to
debt-driven "functional finance" and have forsaken the tradition from which
they came. Look at http://www.lewrockwell.com/bonner/bonner12.html
