Wal-Mart vs. The (Government) Morons
E-mail | 5/16/2017 | E-mail

Posted on 05/16/2018 6:45:16 AM PDT by Leo Carpathian

WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF INSPIRATIONAL? (THIS!)

Wal-Mart vs. The Morons

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx. 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans... Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, it is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons:

a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 81 years to get it right and it is broke.

c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 77 years to get it right and it is broke.

d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 52 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 51 years to get it right and they are broke.

f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 46 years to get it right and it is broke.

g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 39 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??

Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything) and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.

AND

I know what's wrong. We have lost our minds to "Political Correctness" !!

Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc. and the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey and now Pakistan ( the previous home of bin Laden). literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medicines, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.

Imagine if the GOVERNMENT gave U. S. the same support they give to other countries. Sad isn't it?

*99% of the people receiving this message won't have the guts to forward this.

*I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did BEING UNITED SAVES AMERICA!

I like the list of 13 things that I as a citizen want.

This is why Trump is zooming ahead. He is at least talking about issues that most Americans are concerned about. My mantra about Trump is this: We are usually in agreement with most of what he says but wish someone else was saying it. We are getting older and our tickers aren't what they used to be...so here is Our Special Bucket List for 2015,16....

HERE IS WHAT WE WANT.

1. Hillary: in prison!

2. Put "GOD" back in America!!!

3. Borders: Closed!

4. Congress: On the same retirement & healthcare plans as everybody else .

5. Congress: Obey its own laws NOW!

6. Language: English only!

7. Culture: Constitution and the Bill of Rights!

8. Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before & during Welfare!

9. Freebies: NONE to Non-Citizens!

10. Budget: Balance the damn thing!

11. Foreign Countries: Stop giving them our money! Charge them for our help!

We need it here.

12. Fix the TAX CODE!

And most of all.

13. "RESPECT OUR MILITARY AND OUR FLAG!!"

We the people are coming! Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.

What will you do?

Please send it on; if only to one person

SEND IT ON?

No, go to your local political headquarters and WORK to elect qualified neighbors to represent you at every level of government!

I, and many of my friends did that in 2016. And it's fun and you meet nice folks along the way.

I would add, Walmart has the best customer service I have ever encountered. I once needed a receipt older than 3 months for tax purposes. I figured no chance. I decided to give it a shot so I called, they connected me with accounting and since I didn’t have all the traceable information, they were skeptical but said they would try. An hour later, they texted me that a hard copy of the receipt was waiting for pickup.

Liberals hate Walmart. Not sure why, but if Walmart did not exist, they’d probably hate Target. What they don’t seem to understand is that Walmart saves shoppers a lot of money on purchases. All shoppers: all races, all income levels, etc. Boston won’t allow a Walmart in the city so poor people have to take a bus to get more for their money.

I agree about the customer service. I ordered some canned food and personal care items thru the website. I’ve done that many times with no problem, but this time, everything looked bashed about; like the box had been dropped or something.

I called to complain a little, thinking I’d have to return the box. But no - they sent me a new order and let me keep the old one (nothing wrong with the stuff, it just looked bad)!

They could do something about their packaging, though. I get shoe-box sized boxes for toothbrushes. : (

And, the Salvation Army is allowed in front of Walmart for a month before Christmas. Try that with Amazon or target.

Walmart is probably the scummiest company in America. Filthy stores employing welfare receipients and populated by undesirables. Walmart stores in Calif are like a giant magnet bringing in every dirtbag for 30 miles around. When I go to other states their Walmart stores are clean, populated by normal looking middle class folks. And the shoppers dont look like mutants.

As for prices, buyer beware,many walmart prices are higher than elsewhere. Mostly everything at walmart is Chinamade, thus the name Chinamart.

You contradict that statement with your

When I go to other states their Walmart stores are clean, populated by normal looking middle class folks. And the shoppers dont look like mutants.

Based on what you say, it sounds like California is the problem, not WalMart.

Well, the company I work for sells millions of dollars a year at Walmart. Nothing is Chinese. I think everything we sell them is US produced. They make us provide proof of every performance claim on our labels.

In my opinion, Walmart and Home Depot should have tactical emergency response responsibility instead of FEMA.

Liberals ‘hate’ companies in order to commit extortion. They either pay the democrat party and join in on undermining the country or they will throw a brick thru their window so to speak.

Every store is filled with made in China goods. For years I avoided made in China labels till there was no longer any difference between any chain or independent store. They all sold majority of goods, made in China, but at higher prices. Walmart is about convenience— everything, every service, except major medical, is right there and prices are reasonable. Most of the groceries are grown and made in the USA thanks to our farmers, the most productive in the world. The Walmarts where I buy may have some poor people there, but the stores are reasonably clean. You must live in a classy area.

I always look for the made in USA labels, always, and for me, that label is worth paying the extra. The majority of food is made in USA. I never buy food made in China.

Walmart in California may be the scummiest stores, probably has more to do with people who are living in California than Walmart.

Our local stores are nice, except for one.

Actually I live in one of the highest rated places in the state.

The irony about Walmart is that you can go to the most upscale city in the state and if there is a Walmart there the people inside, employees and customers, are mutant looking people that look like they just crawled out of a gutter. Its very weird.

Now when I go to Arizona the walmarts there are clean with all middle class to retired people inside.

It must be california.
