Walmart vs. The Morons

Wal-Mart versus The Morons
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart , every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 in sales 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, andmost 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:
Now for the 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 72 years to get it right and it is broke.
D.. 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" and they only want more.
E... Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 45 years to get it right and they are broke.
F.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 40 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 33 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
 ??

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

  1. You are making a false dichotomy between state institutions vs. capitalist corporations. You didn't mention worker co-ops, firms which use participatory-style decision making, services that come free of charge which are not state-run, etc.

  2. The suggestion that the US imports more oil than ever before is just ludicrous. Most of our oil that is still imported comes from Canada. The US is also the globes largest EXPORTER of value added US jobs providing refined product and petrochemicals. The ideology of the Keystone XL pipeline esposed in th last election has collapsed and very few Presidential candidates in either party speak of it very much anymore as THEMARKET has worked and the only justification for Keysone XL is for major oil companies to use the US territory to get Canadian green house intensive Syncrude to US gulf of Mexico ports to be EXPORTED WITH so as to BYPASS US value added jobs in US refining and petrochemical plants. this will provide more long term jobs to foreign workers employed on 98% of these tank vessels that are manned by non US taxpayer crews working for third world eages. It will enhance our value added manufacturing competitor countries ability to get fossil furels from North American resources to under cut US manufaturing bases. Ideology in the end is sometimes or mostly, just ideology and not always valid in it's projected outcomes promised. Why would the US be importing near $50 barrel foreign oil into it's markets if US oil prices are trending toward and averaging $40? The oil supplies of SW Asia must be secured and made safe for our economic competitors in Europe and Asia to be better able to compete with our economy?
