The American Dream in the Age of Nightmares

How to get super-rich selling cheap crap to poor people.

Dollar stores do more than sell "cheap crap to poor people." I can't speak for Family Dollar but I've noticed an exponential increase in the number of customers at the local Dollar General store. Most of them aren't buying cheap crap, but are buying cheaper groceries, just to survive in this recession. (I must tell you at this point, that I am a Dollar General stockholder). And most of them aren't poor, but middle-class-income people who've fallen on hard times.

If the same groceries are sold there as in a "traditional " chain store then what is the harm in saving money, recession or not?
