Why not suppose that they will just spend the increased income at Walmart, where they are going to shop anyway. There is no reason to think that the 'savings' will eventually trickle down to us.

Let's put in terms of groceries, then: $.30 can of tuna vs. $.50 can of tuna. It's a better comparison anyway, because both are the same product and both will be consumed and forgotten. 

Bottom line: increased disposable income, which leads to increased prosperity in the region.

Take care,

Deacon

Deacon James stated:

"If someone spends $10 on a toaster instead of $20, they have $10 extra
dollars to spend on something else they otherwise would not have been able
to purchase."

Yet, if that same "someone" found it necessary to purchase that same
ten-dollar toaster three times each year (due to lesser quality), while
his/her neighbor "someone else" purchased the twenty-dollar toaster that
lasted twelve months, someone else would "have $10 extra dollars to spend on
something else they otherwise would not have been able to purchase."

Something else to think about,
