Around 250 demonstrators stormed a Wal-Mart store outside Mexico City on Tuesday alleging that Wal-Mart’s low prices have come at the cost of hurting local farmers and markets. In addition, anti-Wal-Mart activists say that the company’s plans to open its own banking unit would cause a monopoly on Mexican remittances. In response, Wal-Mart de Mexico is rolling out a major ad campaign designed to convince Mexicans that their stores are beneficial for the country’s economy.

Damn their low prices! How dumb was Wal-Mart to think that Mexico was a free market economy. Who cares that they're providing low prices to people who can't afford food.
Nice try troll, but I refuse to play your little game.
and what other thing you pretent people will do? they go the other side of the border, and this company is one of the most users of our service, and when the company don't need us, just kick our Latin American asses out of the place.
Well if they have money and choose the right persons to pay, they will make it and doesn't matter what protestants do, money can do everything.
