Re: Walmart

I just find it ironic that Sam Walton found a way to make money selling to small businesses with one store (Sam's Club) while at the same time running them out of business with another (Wal-Mart). I don't see why they feel a need to eliminate their competition by forcing them out of business. There is a Wal-Mart near my parents' house in South Windsor, CT and it seems to coexist very happily with a Target, a Best Buy and a sizable mall. There seems to be more than enough business for all of them, so why can't other Wal-Marts handle competing with a few small businesses?

My $0.02, not meant to be offensive to anyone.
