Welcome
to the
StopWalmartNJ Coalition website. Our intent here is to provide
insight to
the behemoth from Bentonville, Arkansas. Wal-Mart today is ever-growing, beyond the imagination, while communities are growing barren due to this
invasion. Many businesses are unable to compete due to the predatory
pricing practices that Wal-Mart adheres to.
Fair market
competition has been thrown out the window causing many towns to grow
sparse with Wal-Mart being the only store left. These areas that once
thrived on retail rateables now grow into budget deficits, burdening the
pockets of each taxpayer and property owner. The once known mom & pop
shops that offered personalized service are slowly being forced out of
existence. Although, there are a few specialty stores that do thrive on
Wal-Mart's existence it doesn't beat the once known merchant's pride in
the community.
Employees
of Wal-Mart are paid at poverty levels with minimal medical insurances
that graze upon the taxpayers of the U.S. The Wal-Mart Corporation has
skirted many questions as to moral values, quality of life issues,
environmental concerns and discrimination.
So, exactly
why is Wal-Mart good for this country, let alone your backyard?
