Walmart's February Sales Are A 'Total Disaster,' Email Says

those dang repubs...we all know how much they like higher taxes

 

[sarahgop]

i got an email from nigeria saying i inherited 10 million. things in emails might not always be true.

 

[Occamstazer]

I want to meet the average person shedding a tear over this news.

So does this mean Obama's payroll tax cut was a boost to the economy?

Now that payroll taxes have returned to what they were before Obama gave us all a two year tax cut, it will take people time to adjust to normal. They have become spoiled with not paying for their government entitlement programs.

The peole paying don't qualify for the entitlements...
The ones who get the entitlements don't pay the taxes.

Yep, that sounds fine - just like it should be. The giving up of your wages for those who don't work for wages. Socialism IS communism (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - formerly known as the communist block contries)

 

[Luddly Neddite]

tsk tsk tsk ... I sure hope they find some way to keep screwing over their employees and supporting China.

 

[Mr Natural]

There's only so much shit people can buy before their attics and basements are full.

Wherever did you get that idea? Do you even understand what payroll taxes are? Do you understand how entitlements paid for by them work?

Is it good policy to do damage to the finances of Social Security and Medicare, or to the federal budget,

in order to shore up the corporate profits of Walmart and all their Chinese suppliers?

 

[Dot Com]

I don't shop there. That place destroys American business' & lowers wages to the lowest common denominator.

 

[PaulS1950]

Yes, I do. The people who are working pay the newly reinstated Social Security taxes and the people on Social Security get paid without paying anything in - they already spent their whole working lives paying for someone elses benifits. I thought the sarchasm was dripping fast enough that a reasonable person could see it.

maybe not here in Naples. we are probably one of the few towns in the USA with at least 4 Super WalMarts (that I know of) we actually have two super-walmarts on the same road (the one that goes onto marco island) I would guess they are about 4? 5? miles apart? both are busy though. So how many wal-marts are in your town?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Need more unemployment checks because Krugman and Pelosi say they stimulate the economy

what an asinine comment. Where is all the outrage at Target? Sears? K-Mart?
They all pay similar to Walmart and buy from China yet for some strange reason noone ever gives them any trouble. Or what about Apple that works with China? Couldn't be they happen to support conservative causes, now could it? Or could it happen to do with being able to successfully keep out the damn unions?

Take your faux rage somewhere else.

 

[OKTexas]

Damn if they could keep the ammo in stock they would improve their sales. I was in last week and the shelves were practically empty.

It's true, in a strange and mostly insignificant way. The economy is so in the tank that the consumer spending resulting from unemployment benefits is not enough to cause a dent in the overall sluggish state of consumer spending. Most of it goes for basic necessities.

Consumer spending is, btw, what keeps the US economic machine humming.

They're out of varget and 4895 also.

We have close to 8% UE. That basically means that 92% of the people that can work..do.

That means a majority of the people in this country are gainfully employed.

So. What the heck are you talking about?

And what exactly do the owe for?
