No it is NOT OK for poor people to shop at Wal-mart.
Wal-mart is a lie. They subsidize their discounts with
TAX MONEY that poor people pay as well. In the end,
the poor are shooting themselves in the foot by
shopping at Wal-mart. It's like the peasant thanking
the feudal lord for not taking ALL the grain that the
peasant grew.
