Think about 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 you are all 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 74 years to get it right and it is broke. c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 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 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 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 32 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 ??
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WAL MART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???
WAL MART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.......WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?
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.

Yes, but more importantly, does he have a professorship in an IVY league institute?

there is no shame in buying something from Walmart or Kmart or Shopko etc...when the rabble can save a few dollars here and there, its more money we can spend elsewhere....
While FEMA was hoarding water and ice at the Astrodome after Ike, Walmart was distributing same for free at it’s stores in the Houston area. They had stacks of generators and other essentials while FEMA was still arguing with local officials about who was in charge. Walmart rules!
So you’re saying that the government needs to grow faster?
If you consider that "English", I consider that e-mail BS.
People busy shopping are too busy to blow stuff up...
I love Wal-Mart. My Costco membership expires in November and I can’t think of any reason to re-up.
I can’t wait for WAL*CARE.
We’ll live within 15 minutes of a clinic and the longest line at WAL*MART never approaches the time you spend in the “Emergency Room” with a sucking chest wound waiting to see a bureaucrat to take your insurance information.
Interesting. I have been thinking of doing the opposite. Could you elaborate? Thanks.
“I love Wal-Mart.”
I minimized my shopping trips to Walmart, especially after they came out in favor of obamacare.
We must use current dem/lib/prog/pop thinking and language for this statement. The "poor" not only WANT more, they have begun to demand more...in point of fact, they are even declaring that it is not a "WANT" but a RIGHT.
Example?? How about, "it is the right of every American citizen (legal and illegal) to have affordable health care."
Uhhh....No, it isn't.
. 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 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
Again....using dem/lib/prog/pop "new-think", or if you prefer, "high revolution, centrifigal thinking" (otherwise known as spin")..."think of how much oil we'd be using if we didn't have the Department of Energy!!!"
This is the exact same kind of spin (excuse me, I meant high revolution centrifugal thinking) the current regime uses to try to convince the unemployed that they are supposed to feel good about things in general because, "think of how many more of you there would be if our wonderful TARP and stimulus packages hadn't saved millions and millions of jobs."
Uhhh....no....they didn't.
My only problem with Walmart is that when they move in all the little mom and pop stores close up...oh and their “fresh” produce sucks.
Of course I take part of the blame in that because I shop at Walmart to get the better prices. Yes Walmart has cheap Chinese stuff, but they also carry the American stuff as well at cheaper prices.
The left has kept WalMart grocery stores out of San Diego and many other major cities, I look forward to someday being able to have that option of shopping at one.
"90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart"
I'm in the 10%! If I could fly I might be within 15 miles but driving it's not even close.
Thanks, but no thanks. I can imagine the quality of service I'd receive if govt. bureaucrats wore blue vests. BTW, why do the BACK of their vests say "how may I help you?" If you're reading that message, it means they're walking AWAY from you.
Interesting ... at my local Supercenter, its the produce that is superior to everyone elses in the area ... but the Walmart meat there is sub-par and expensive.
The HP laptop I wanted was substantially cheaper at Wal-Mart and that's without the annoying membership requirement. The blue collarness of Wal-Mart appeals to my inner proletarian.
But I'm conflicted. Help! What are your thoughts?
Here in San Diego, after years of strong grocery union opposition, Walmart began carrying produce. No superstores were allowed here versus the ‘right to work’ States.
Amazing how fast the union stores cut prices to match competition. Walmart avocados are almost half price along with fresh cut fruit packages. ‘Simply’ products like refrigerated apple juice (my favorite) half the price.
The ‘biggest’ list goes on with Walmart (private employer vs government) with its support infrastructure, largest trucking fleet, largest satellite system.....
In Wal-Mart’s defense, I’m sure they figure that from a business standpoint, Obamacare will save them a boat load of money.
It’s the poor employees who will get screwed with crappy healtcare.
