Following the money as you suggest makes you wonder how the audience 
for Povich and Springer, much less the participants, got their money. I 
suspect a lot of it came from redistribution of income under the 
Marxist policy of from each according to his ability, to each according 
to his needs. As for Walmart, I shop there regularly and haven't found 
the products they offer necessarily substandard. A box of Wheaties at 
Walmart is just as good as a box of Wheaties at the more expensive 
Harris Teeter supermarket or whatever your local upscale grocery store 
happens to be. 

Anyway, what would you suggest as an alternative to the free market?
