[quote=mydogsarelazy]Hi luchabee,

By the way, I am a middle-aged liberal raising kids in an exburb and I drive to work.

[/quote]

I did say average.

Having lived in the Bay Area for five years, including the City, I don’t think I ever met any liberal who ran their own business. Maybe 1 out of a 100 liberals I met had a small kid, but also running a business? Never came across this combination . . . Nope, not once.

Now–in addition to having kids, driving to work, living in the exurbs–if you actually owned your own business (and I’m not talking selling things on e-bay), you would be as rare as the come.

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen–save an IT startup in the Bay Area–but most (young) liberals have no idea what their “save-the-environment-and make-gas-7-bucks-a-gallon, big-box-stores-are evil” policies would have on the working class if implemented.

But, of course, that’s just my opinion.

So which is it? Are you a conservative or are you a Republican? It’s a hard sell calling the Republican party fiscally conservative.

As for Wal Mart being a fine example of free market capitalism, yes, I agree. But free market capitalism doesn’t preclude a lot of unethical behavior and unfortunate consequences. We are in the midst of a tiny bit of financial turmoil caused by everybody participating in our free market for housing. How do you think it’s going? I know you’re going to say it’s criminal behavior that caused this mess, but actually crime isn’t the largest part of it; the biggest problem is chasing a minuscule increase in yield and legal free market chicanery.

We do shop about once every two weeks at Wal-Mart, but we do NOT enjoy it. Obviously we go there for a limited basket of items on which Wal-Mart undercuts everyone on price.

I’ve noticed a significant decline in the cleanliness of their stores over the last five years. Also, five years ago Wal-Mart always kept its shelves stocked and organized. Now every Wal-Mart we go to the shelves are a MESS, and often items unstocked and missing.

I see someone wrote this which we AGREE with completely:

worse can’t stand some (not all, some) of the shoppers that fit the stereotypes about walmart shoppers there. Glut glut glut of purchases of useless crap.

THAT above is the main reason going to Wal-Mart is like torture we put up with so we can save a few bucks. Screaming and yelling kids running through the aisles, unwatched by their single welfare mom’s, who are filling their carts with junk food. Also, we cannot even push a shopping cart through Wal-Mart shopping aisles because so filled up with incredible OBESE illegal immigrants speaking whatever language but they don’t understand “excuse me” so they block all the aisles.

Every time my wife and I LEAVE a Wal-Mart, we look at each other and say “THANK GOD we got out of that nasty place!”

We buy ~80% of our groceries from COSTCO
