I'm a poor college student with 20k in loan debt. But I fear Wal-Mart more than anything. Wal-Mart is going to destroy the middle class, and this is why. Best Buy employees may not make a whole lot, but the technitians who develop their high end products (flat screen TV, computeres, etc etc) sure make the big bucks. Imagine when Wal-Mart is the only one around for manufacturers to sell their products to. This will force them to lower their price (because Wal Mart won't pay high prices for their goods) and therefor cut into their profit. This will cause them to pay their employees less.

I know this is a tangent of sorts, but there is a correlation between BB's new mantra and the emergence of WalMart.
