U.S. Impoverished City Surrenders to free trade

(Cleveland Ohio USA)

A Walmart store was built in the grave yard of the steel industry where once thousands of steel workers made a middle class living. Nationally, at least 700,000 steel workers and related workers have lost their jobs. With this as the back drop, the Mayor of Cleveland celebrates the opening. Many workers had places like Walmart need government and private assistance to survive. One Walmart worker told about this travesty and says she will not shop there. She says she gave Walmart enough.

Free trade is the major cause behind our economic crisis.
However, even while Occupy Wall Street protests were going on, President Obama passed three new trade bills calling them "jobs bills."

With this in mind, view the following artwork by Ray Tapajna titled The Sacrilege - Walmart built in the grave yard of the steel industry.

We need to stop shopping or way out of our jobs. See http://bizarrepolitics.com/us-impoverished-city-surenders-to-free-trade/ or search under tapsearch.com, tapart news or ray tapajna pages for thousands of resources and sites.
