WalMart buys 70% of their products form China.

Spread the word.

100% True. How lovely. $5 I want this.

that's awesome.

Interesting...

China is the biggest capitalist country...

hehehehe

I have seen so many Mao shirts lately...

WalMart is caught up in the biggest class-action discrimination suit in american history. they treat women like 2nd-class citizens.

they are not very nice to puppets either.

Walmart slave wages all the time.

I bought socks there and after washing them my feet still turn black :/

Ah the irony! I like it, and would probably buy one.

actually - most retailers buy their products from China. Many products are designed by US companies, but manufactured in China. The retailer takes control of the product at Chinese port and ships it back to the US in their own containers.

Walmart (and Target, Kmart, Michael's. all "dollar" stores, Walgreens, CVS, etc) don't really buy items FROM China, so much as they buy them from companies that manufacture in China. Walmart just happens to buy more crap than anyone else...

All true. But what makes WalMart uber-evil is their policy of buying lots and lots of product from American manufacturers. Then, after that company becomes dependent on the WalMart relationship WalMart re-negotiates their unit price. Always at a price that is too low for American labor.
But WalMart helps the company relocate their manufacturing plants to China, where labor is cheap.
Companies like Rubbermaid and Huffy Bicycles no longer produce products in America, yet, because they moved to China, they keep their WalMart relationship and make even more money than they did here.
American factories close. American families loose their jobs. WalMart could care less.

I have been WalMart free since December 17, 2004. digitaltractor, you are my hero.

i salute you, wildmustard.
i own nothing from them either.

I hate Wal-Mart. I like to call it Wal-Queda since they are trying to evilly take over the world. The funny thing is their Sam's Choice Soda machines have pro american labor/goods slogans written on it, but nothing sold there is made in America.

I put this down for a nickel. $5 it is!

thanks, geekxxor.
i like the Wal-Queda reference.
i wonder what that shirt would look like?

lol, Wal-Queda.

10% of Chinese Exports to the U.S. are for Wal-Mart alone. And that was back in 2004.

"Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer. It's the world's largest company--bigger than ExxonMobil, General Motors, and General Electric. The scale can be hard to absorb. Wal-Mart sold $244.5 billion worth of goods last year. It sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year. And in its own category of general merchandise and groceries, Wal-Mart no longer has any real rivals. It does more business than Target, Sears, Kmart, J.C. Penney, Safeway, and Kroger combined."

This would be a good t-shirt for a good cause - to expose people to an issue about which they are most likely ignorant, but it's not threadless' style. If you do not have luck here, feel encouraged to try other printing sites. I'm not sure, but there are probably sites that print shirts with the sole purpose of revolutionary activism and causes such as this.

www.wakeupwalmart.com

enough votes could change threadless' style.

I'd but it, in any other color than white, white shirts suck!

make me an offer.
khaki might be appropriate.
red?

political tee...start a discussion!

i am anti-walmart
walmart is anti-women

zazzle and cafepress are two other avenues for printing and selling Ts.

i hope it can make it here.
we will know in 4 days.
getting lots of hits!
my first submission, so this is all new to me.
go mao!

walmart is awesome if you wake up at 3am christmas morning and realize you haven't done any shopping... for jesus...

LOVE IT!
i avoid that place as much as i possibly can
- and why not do a wal-queda shirt for submission #2?

DON'T BUY JESUS BIRTHDAY GIFTS AT WALMART!

but buy all their puppets and then set them free!

I need to buy this!

that is such liberal propagande. supa gay. red diaper doper

liberal crap

libreral crap? I lean quite far to the right and I HATE Walmart. I haven't bought anything there in over 3 years. I have shopped there and used their facilities, but not purchased anything. I would love to get thousands of peopel to all buy the cheapest item and use a credit card to rack up processing fees... hmm how to get that on a shirt...

Decent concept, but this is not a concept exclusive to walmart nor is it one where walmart is to blame. If I were to be interested in a "mao" themed anti-china type shirt it would maybe involve "mao-th" as in "mouth". This one is a miss for me.

me thinks richdogg doeth jest.

and WalMart not to blame? who pushes WalMart around? China? maybe.

just to be clear--this shirt is NOT anit-china--it is anti-WalMart. cmon peeps, pay attention!

i love this shirt!
great message. and yes walmart does not believe in gender equality. besides there is nothing original about owning something from walmart!

if this prints i will so buy it, i hope it wins, i, as well as these people, minus a few, hate wal-mart

thanks you guys.

only one more day!

A really nice design 5$, even if Walmart doesn't exist in these parts.
I'm guessing Walmart is evil? Gender inequality is certainly evil. The other part I'm not sure about.

If buying product from another country is wrong, does that make it wrong for those of us in other countries to buy USA products? Seems like US exports are pretty important to the ecomony. The issue of out-sourcing manufacturing to other countries is more complicated than that, imextremelyho. An industry being unable to compete with other parts of the world is another complicated issue, and textile industries in most developed countries are facing the same problems.

again, i have no problem with international competition. but WalMart forces, then assists American companies to shutter their American factories and move overseas.

it's under-handed. WalMart doesn't play fair. they never have.

they think they can treat their workers like 2nd class citizens, perhaps that is further evidence of Chinese govt influence.
