It is sure looking that way. The USA, for a long time, had a situation where almost anyone could make a decent wage and get by in relation to the cost of living where they lived. There was a demand and plenty of customers for whatever you were selling or doing as a trade.
There have been so many changes, from the nature of farming and manufacturing in this country to the cost of housing and education, that have shifted the distribution of wealth to fewer and fewer people at the top. I suppose you could say that Walmart is just a symptom of this decline in what used to be such a great standard of living but they are major players in this mercenary capitalism.
