I don't really care about what's best for America (or the UK, or any rich country which will be fine). What matters much more is how companies like Wal-mart (and, more importantly, the free market) have an impact on the global economy and on the people who they exploit.

Yeah, it is terrible how we provide jobs for people in Third World countries. We ruthlessly take away their free time and give them money to work and contribute to the world economy. How ruthless of us.

I'm not even going to go into detail about working conditions or absurdly low wages but you write that sentence as if they are provided with a fair wage and reasonable working hours when in fact they are exploited because they are desperate for work.
