I wish these political posts will stop, with that said
I need to correct this and not ignore this false post.

The above statement is easily disproved by looking
at sales figures of Walmart and Walmart's sourcing
most of their products from China and other countries
that produce cheap items just for export to the US.

Retail business that specialize in quality products have
been having a hard time staying in business over the past
40 years.  By far, most people in the US calls these places
"to expensive to shop at".  For example, I remember Sears
and Roebuck being tagged with that phrase decades ago,
where are they now ?
