America is Nascar, and Walmart(and others) need restrictor plates so the other cars have a chance of competing.

If Walmart had a monopoly, places like Royall Hardware in Mt. Pleasant would not be able to make it. Instead, this Ace/True Value store gets most of my business. I'd drive several miles past a Walmart or Lowe's to buy at a True Value because they have knowledgeable staff, better quality products, and excellent customer service. If you are satisfied with subpar, low quality Chinese products at slightly lower prices, go to WM. But when you need advice on how to wash down a well point or wire up a well pump, you're going to need the good old hardware store. I'll pay more for that kind of consistent service. In the mean time, Walmart will eventually wither on the vine as people wise up and choose quality and service over slightly lower prices. If we can keep the government and liberals out of the way, it will happen naturally and not through government meddling.
