I got this by email and it fits so well that it should be here. <\/p>\n
Some interesting thoughts; I find the claims about Wall-Mart (WMT) to
\n be surprisingly aggressive, but the principle is valid even if exaggerated:<\/p>\n
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day. 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.<\/p>\n This should be read and understood by all Americans<\/p>\n Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!<\/p>\n To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, a.. The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right<\/strong> and it is broke.!
\n 2. This works out to $20,928 profit<\/strong> every minute! (Wonder if this is really “profit”???)
\n 3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year<\/strong>.
\n 4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
\n 5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private Employer, and most speak English.
\n 6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
\n 7. Wal-Mart now sells more food<\/strong> than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.
\n 8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
\n 9. Wal-Mart now sells more food<\/strong> than any other store<\/strong> in the world.
\n 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 5 Years ago.
\n 11. This year<\/strong> 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur At a Wal-Mart store<\/strong>. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
\n 12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n
\nIt is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:<\/p>\n
\n b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right<\/strong> and it is broke.
\n c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right<\/strong> and it is broke.
\n 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<\/strong> and transferred to “the poor” and they only want more.
\n e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right<\/strong> and they are broke.
\n f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right<\/strong> and it is broke.
\n g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000
\n employees with a budget of $24 billion a year<\/strong> and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right<\/strong> and it is an abysmal failure.<\/p>\n
