Wal-Mart competes with socialist promises. But Wal-Mart delivers the goods, where socialism has always been empty.

The "great" Soviet Union had only one kind of soap in its stores, and it couldn't supply enough even of that one kind to keep people clean. Wal-Mart has whole aisles full of hand soaps, bath soaps, liquid soaps, sink detergents, laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents, shop cleaners and degreasers, and a profusion of other cleaning products. Of course the same is true with food, clothing, tools and other products. Wal-Mart delivers, socialism steals.

Socialism promises handouts to the needy, then never gives them more than a pittance. Wal-Mart hires the needy and the handicapped and trains them for a life of self-sufficiency and achievement. Welfare recipients can't feel good about themselves living on handouts. But Wal-Mart employees take pride in their work, so they feel great about themselves.

Sounds good enough to repeat... I am a frequent WalMart shopper. "Saving money" counts to me, too...

Anyone notice that it's not the employees complaining here? Rather, it seems to be a bunch of pointy-heads claiming to be moved by their plight.

We don't shop much at WalMart up here in the great white north. There selection of touques are really limited.
Bump and a drip!
