Nothing would damage the Russian people more than to allow a company like Walmart take over the retail sector in Russia. All the charm that makes Russia so wonderful along with Russia's precious tradition's would be lost forever . Just picture all the Kiosks gone, all the little mom and pop businesses that employ tens of thousands of people , gone forever! The open air markets, fruit stands and even souvenir shops would be gobbled up by the insatiable Evil monster that Walmart is. Walmart is a corporate dictatorship that underpays and abuses its' workers, the people are spied on, told how to vote, made to work without pay and suffer unspeakable indignities at the hands of unscrupulous Nazi-like "bosses". Walmart is the standard bearer of the movemnt to destroy all the progress of the workers of the last 100 years. Left unchecked Walmart will throw humanity back to the dark ages of slavery and serfdom. Russia must resist the efforts of any business that operates this way to penetrate its' markets. Russia must, unlike America, elevate the status of its' workers and its' people as its' primary goal and never allow corporate greed to run amok as it has in America. The motto must be "the people first" and businesses, corporations and trade agreements need to be controlled in such a way that they must SERVE not "OWN" the people as it is in America. In the long run goods consumed in a country should be made in that country or a country with the same income levels otherwise a lopsided unsustainable economy is the result. This is the lesson that the debt ridden, unemployed American people are now learning. They got their cheaper goods and now have no jobs plus enriched China which now builds up its' military and soon will be threatening the world with its' power.....power financed by the stupid uninformed American people and China's primary customer...WALMART!
