Nobody likes Walmart, yet I never see an empty one.
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 more than any other store in the world. Keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. 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. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature. It is now official; you are ALL corrupt morons:
1. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 235 years to get it right and it is broke.
2. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 75 years to get it right and it is broke.
3. The War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 46 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" without making a dent in the poverty rate.
4. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 45 years to get them right and they are broke.
5. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 72 years to get it right and it is broke.
6. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 40 years to get it right and it is broke. The taxpayer has in the past 18 months been forced to give tens of billions to Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and neither of them show any sign of becoming viable.
(Passing note: The three largest recipients of campaign funds from F. Mae and F. Mac were: Barry Obama, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Republican efforts to clean house at these two corrupt organizations were blocked by ... Frank and Dodd, who declared up to a week before they crashed that they were doing just fine, and it was all Bush's and the Republicans' scare tactics).
7. 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 33 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
To Obama and his cabinet: None of you have had any experience whatsoever of running a company, meeting a payroll, filling out government forms, etc. With the exception of the Community Organizer, you're all eggheads that come from the cloud-cuckoo land of academia, or are ex-lobbyists, or lawyers, or radical socialists. Or all three. You and the rest of Washington 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 AND TO REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT AND PUT THE ECONOMY RIGHT? We should kick you all out and hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.
Maybe a clue to the disparate experiences is that Wal-Mart employees have resisted being "organized" so that union thug chiefs can pocket part of their earnings, whereas more than half of all state, local, city and federal workers are unionized.
