Who's Lyndon Larouche?  I've never heard of him.
I was reading the message, not criticising the messenger.

But apart from him, there are many Walmart critics, websites, blogs,
news reports. Do some googling, if you are unaware of them.

Here is a Dems report on Walmart's low wages for example.

And there is still the problem of much of USA production being moved
overseas and internal production facilities being shut down. 
Production jobs being moved overseas to low wage economies is still a
problem, no matter the credentials of the person pointing it out.
