Store is Wal-right with NYC shoppers

The New York Post reports:

The Big Apple would become a Walmart city if local shoppers had their way.

A poll of 1,000 New Yorkers found that a whopping 71 percent favor locating a Walmart store in the city, with only 24 percent opposed.

And the survey -- conducted by pollster Douglas Schoen for the mega-retailer -- also showed that 63 percent gave a thumbs-up to having a Walmart located in their neighborhood, with only 34 percent opposed.

In general, two-thirds of city residents had a favorable opinion of Walmart.

In authoritarian societies, the government decides who can supply goods and services. In a free market , consumers decide what stores they want to patronize.
