Enemies of the Poor

Todd Zywicki points out:

People Who Don't Shop at Wal-Mart Oppose New Cleveland Wal-Mart: From today's Cleveland Plain-Dealer:

This is why so many job-starved Clevelanders have voiced concerns. Consider the coalition that is building: civil rights groups, elected officials, labor unionists, ministers, small business owners, and, most recently, Cleveland bloggers. We raise our voices in opposition because of the negative effects of a Wal-Mart Supercenter on our town.

In other words, Cleveland's elites who don't shop at Wal-Mart are opposed to allowing other people to shop at Wal-Mart.
