WalMart bailing out is a symptom of a much larger problem, not the problem itself.

On a broader scale, read The White Ghetto, an article that originally appeared in the National Review.

It's a long read, but well worth the effort. The most heartbreaking for me was why the majority of parents pull their LD children out of free reading classes.

For an even broader treatment, read Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance.

I was at least 13 years old before I ate anything other than a fresh-laid egg from the backyard. Hell, my wife drives down to one of our producers' markets weekly to buy fresh-laid eggs. What kind of thinking is this?? It makes as much sense as the guy who owns 140 firearms and bought one for $775 in the parking lot and sounded like he'd hit the lottery...
Same kind of people that live in rusted out single wides, but have four satellite dishes, a boat, an ATV, and a nice truck. People with a poverty mindset only think about the hear & now -- instant gratification. You save up a little and then you spend it.
