Aberdeen votes next Tuesday on whether to alter city regulations and allow Super Wal-Mart to build here. I post this in full from Realclearpolitics:
DEAR JOHN: John Edwards is guest blogging over at the new TPMCafe site. One of his first posts cites this Brookings Institute report to highlight the idea that "being poor is expensive."
Assuming the Brookings study is true and that the poor really do pay more for goods and services including groceries, insurance, appliances, etc., then one would have to conclude Edwards is fully in favor of organizations that provide consumers (but especially the poor) with low-priced products that allow them to stretch their dollars further. So again we have to ask: why is the left so vehemently opposed to a company like Wal-Mart? - T. Bevan 9:35 am
