This is an interesting e-mail I received and thought it worth sharing.
Comparing Wal-Mart to the US Government
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 and is the largest private employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in world history.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 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 5 years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store (Earth's population is about 6.5 billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 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 Congress:
It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons.
The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775.
You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
Social Security was established in 1935.
You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938.
You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
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.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.
You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970.
You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
Fifty years ago we had the best schools in the world,
and now with a Department of Education, we are 16th and falling.
Amtrak operates in the red year after year.
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 AND
YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
