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.



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 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.
Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile, and Turkey..And now Pakistan ..........previous home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!


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



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

    Walmart, no question about it. Washington DC and its moronic approach to government takes as its real goal to use public money to make sure that the politicians get re-elected.

    Is really comparing apples and oranges here. Wal-Mart is a made for profit business. The US Government should not be in the profit business. But, neither should they be in the debt business.

    12. Walmart is at the forefront of running job out of America.

    13. Walmart has a higher percentage of employees on public assistance than the rest of he private sector.

    Crap they might already be the government....

    Wal-Mart is given our money and provides us with things we need and want at an affordable price Government TAKES our money and provides us with nothing but back-room mandated laws TELLING us what we need and that we shouldn't want what others can't afford.

    not really a fan of WalMart since Sam died. The heirs are becoming more like the government everyday,

    A company is just like a government- it all depends on who is in charge as to how much they will screw you

    Well I'd answer your comments by to do so would require too much time and effort. Needless to say that a couple of your comments are true. Some are false, others are simply filler to support your distain for goverment.

    Nationalization has never made anything run more efficiently. Only competition which occurs in the free market can liberate ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit.

    It's pretty obvious that governments shouldn't be run like corporations. The purpose of a government is to be moral, and to care for the people. A government is SUPPOSED to do what's best for its people, even if that isn't the most economical option. A corporation on the other hand is supposed to make a much money as possible, even if it has to hurt people in the process. A corporation would happily sell customers poor-quality products or treat it's employees like slaves if it thought it could get away with it. A government should not do stuff like that if it's to remain for the people. Corporations are driven by profit, and they will happily infringe on human rights, and generally act like a stereotypically evil government, to gain that profit.

    purpose of a government is to be moral?

    Maybe the Japanese constitution calls for the government to decide your morals, the American Constitution does not. Evidently our two constituitons are meant for two entirely different nations. Our government is to get the hell out of the way, and provide basic services, not baby sit us

    but isn't that the point. If we don't want them to buy Chinese shouldn't we help America's companies? But we don't. China dumps products on us and we don't tax them near enough. Why in the world would anyone blame Walmart for being smart business people, creating huge jobs and huge values on products for American users? Smart biz. Personally I hate the way they treat their vendors but the vendors always make the final choice to deal with them. so I go there and buy cheap underwear and whatever.
    If I want higher quality and service I go somewhere else.

    Oh yeah, and where does the Federal government get their products and services? Overseas. Then they ship our jobs and workers there too.

    You're right they do. But building up a company like Walmart. Which is not good for America, isn't the solution. Putting small family owned businesses out of business, having sub-par help, because you don't treat your employees right, is not something to brag about.

    Buy locally, support family owned businesses...

    I remember when Bill Clinton took office. He had his Departments audited the same way Corporations were audited. Of course, all of his departments flunked the audit. He tried for several years and stopped the audits.

    Corporations are driven by profits they must be efficient. Government is driven by politics and spending.

    WHY? Because morons did NOT elect who is CEO of Walmart!! I want all people who will have the privilege to vote, to have to take an IQ test. If they fall below average level, they do not get the privilege. I know this sounds too "discriminating", but I don't like morons choosing my CEO. Why would that be so wrong? Nobody HAS to be a moron - they're just too lazy, and nobody tells them they have to change.

    With the exception of the U.S. military, private businesses are run way more efficiently. If Obama were running a business of any kind he would have been fired within the first year.

    I think you are giving Obama too much credit. I think he might last 3 months but no board would hire him in the first place. He doesn't have any experience in running a business. He doesn't know anything about capitalism.

    Obama vs Wal-Mart. This is no contest. Obama and his economic policies have bankrupted America. For all of the critizing of Wal-Mart they are doing a pretty good job. What would the employment figures be with about a million or so more unemployed in America. It is the UNIONS that push buttons against Wal-Mart because the UNIONS can't get their bully tactics in the door.

    The government is a leech, Wal-Mart is a business.
    The government makes what it gets by robbing us blind,
    Wal-Mart gives us product and services in return for our money.
    Wal-Mart smiles when they screw us, the government says roll over and give me more.

    The return on a lifetime investment into Social Security is about a 1.2 percent interest.

    Think private industry could do a little better than that?

    WalMart saves me money on things I need. Fedzilla costs me money for things no one needs unless they agonize over the need for studies on how Monkeys behave on cocaine and similar misguided programs, or the fundamental inability to stay on budget.
