[Vision2020] Response to Mexican Wal-Mart Column

[Donovan Arnold]

Boy, isn't this ironic and titillating! Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now, isn't it? Their karma ran over their dogma. 
   
  "She is a lawyer with political connections in Mexico and would like to explain to her family, friends and others that every dollar spent at Wal-Mart in Tepic leaves their community and deprives small shopkeepers of their livlihood." Wouldn't that be peso, not dollar?

  Keep in mind, that these Wal-Mart stores in Mexico support illegal immigrant jobs here in the United States, and go to pay retirement accounts for UI and MSD employees. 
   
  Best Regards,

  Greetings:

Just thought I would share with you a comment from NewWest E-Mag on my column on the Mexican Wal-Mart strike.

Professor Gier,

Great article!

My Mexican wife would like a copy of this article en Espanol. A large Wal-Mart has come to her family's town -- Tepic, Nayarit (three hours northest of Puerto Vallarta) -- of 300,000 inhabitants and has already caused several small hardware and grocery stores in their neighborhood to close.

She is a lawyer with political connections in Mexico and would like to explain to her family, friends and others that every dollar spent at Wal-Mart in Tepic leaves their community and deprives small shopkeepers of their livlihood.
