Failed employees? I doubt any unprofitable store was closed because of "failed" employees.

And keep in mind that the slightly increased prices that would coincide with a corporation's manufacturing its goods in the United States (as opposed to sweatshops in underdeveloped countries) would also do much to provide domestic jobs. Looking at it this way, Wal*Mart's hardly doing us a favor.

"Contrast this with a company much-despised by liberals, like oh, say, Walmart. Walmart actually provides value to its customers, reducing their costs for daily necessities..."

Right. At the cost of people working in communist countries for $2 per day.

Your outrage is B.S.

I don't know about you, but I wish I had just a fraction of Starbucks' profits -- even if I don't like their coffee and politics aside.
