"By crushing local businesses, this giant eliminates three decent jobs for every two Wal-Mart jobs that it creates -- and a store full of part-time, poorly paid employees hardly builds the family wealth necessary to sustain a community's middle-class living standard. Indeed, Wal-Mart operates as a massive wealth extractor. Instead of profits staying in town to be reinvested locally, the money is hauled off to Bentonville, either to be used as capital for conquering yet another town or simply to be stashed in the family vaults." -- Jim Hightower, "How Wal-Mart is Remaking our World", 2002-04-26
