Well I would never claim that I never shop at Walmarts or Tower. I have spent money with both. They are both like a bad smoking habit of which I did finally quit 3 years ago. Quitting those cigs was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do and it is funny how the mind lies to itself "oh..I will just have one today, but tommorow I am thru!" Once I even thru a pack out the window and ran down to the gas station an hour later to buy a pack. I am just turning 40 and I quit when I was 37 years old because my wife was booting me to the couch because I was wheezing in my sleep and keeping her awake. Well that finally did it for me and I got bull headed and quit. A 37 year old with lungs that sounded like mine was pathetic and I am fairly active and am a bricklayer by trade who gets plenty of excercise at work, and after 3 years of not smoking I breathe great. Now if I could just break the addiction to those everyday lower then low prices and those darn Tower discount codes.....I could feel pretty good about myself! The way I view it is much like a smoking habit. I really really really loved those smokes until they made me sick after 20 years of puffing on them. Well I will enjoy those Tower codes and everyday low prices up until the day every descent job in this country has been out sourced to China. I am not trying to bash or be unpoliticaly correct, but it is just obvious to me where things are headed and have been heading and we have lost our way. Not just YOU, but I am just as guilty as the next. I don't sit up on no high horse and judge others....I just always ask the question "what are WE going to do about it together?" Just keep puffing on those smokes till they put us in the grave or get bull headed and try to change our spending habits and where we spend our money? It is a very very very hard thing to do and almost beyond the abillity of the average american to pass up a good deal. Americans love getting a bargain!
The government gets involved in to many things in our lives, but in this case..this is where they could step up and impose higher tarrifs on all these cheap foriegn goods that are built off the backs of slave-like wages. Americans want stuff dirt cheap, but also want to make a nice living themselves. Those two things do not go hand in hand and even the hardest working americans can not compete against someone making $5 a day. I'll get off my soap box now and get back to browsing Towers website and feeding my terrible addiction to Tower codes!
