Tom,
If a small town community has a functioning economy, who cares if they are selling bread for $20 a loaf? It's not as though prior to Wal-Mart and other huge corporations prices were absurdly high.

How do you define "functioning economy"? If people don't care about paying $20 a loaf, you don't have to worry much when Wal-mart moves in.

Obviously people would prefer paying less than paying more. What they don't forsee is the negative externalities.
I KNOW I NEED TO PUT THIS IN CAPITAL LETTERS: I do not think government should step in and prevent Wal-Mart from stepping up shop, I just think it's clear that Wal-Mart has negative effects on local economies and that I hope people stop allowing it to move in and remove them from where they are.
