    I hate Walmart, but this was an interesting grab from another forum...

    .........

    Received via email

    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 groundwork for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to run the government. This should be read and understood by all Americans - Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

    To President Biden 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 246 years to get it right and it is broke.
    b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 86 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 57 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 56 years to get it right and they are broke.
    f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 51 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. You had 44 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure since you started reversing the gains made by the Trump administration.

    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 the HELL's 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!!!

    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' 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 is the major employer in about 20 states. Don't get surprised, universities hold second place - Gov. run.

    Former Walmart executives were hired to run Kmart in the late 90s early 2000s. They started the company on its decline.

    That said I have a sneaky suspicion they did it on purpose but can prove it.

    If so their integrity sucks, like pols cant be trusted.

    And when Kmart and Sears went belly up, guess where management went?
    Yup, Walmart. I worked for them for almost 20 years. Trust me, you don't want them running the government. Much of the worst of Obamacare is because of their influence. Guess how bad it would be if the had even more to say.......

    That place east of Waco....
    Nope. Make them work for a public school district and a used car dealership. The first job will show them the needs of their constituency. The second job, if they're good at it, should disqualify them from ever holding the public's trust.
