WalMart VS The Morons that run this country
Got this in an email...

Wal-Mart vs. The Morons

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 1,906are 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 that the majority of you are corrupt 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 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

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 and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 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 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 .

It's hard to believe that there are people who actually think it's a good idea to raise taxes for the mistaken purpose of increasing revenue, so big government has more to mismanage.

Private sector does almost everything better

I don't think he's saying walmart is great - he's saying walmart knows how to turn a profit and we should get them to fix our economy. Of course we all know it would be painful and they don't care about any of that mushy human rights crap, they care about the bottom line, which is why they would do a good job at it.

True but Walmart was a pioneer when it came to supplier policies. If suppliers weren't forced to reduce their costs continually to be allowed to sell to Walmart then the drastic measures of cost reduction wouldn't have been so aggressive. Many suppliers were family owned business prior to dealing with Walmart. That doesn't last long when they're forced to shut plants and manufacture overseas if they wish to continue doing business with their biggest, and in some cases, only customer.

Remember, their continued great success comes at great expense to the US economy as a whole.

In 1985 I was Wal-Mart's youngest Department Manager (18 years old) Store 789 in Mesquite, Texas and Sam Walton toured my Seasonal/Lawn & Gardens department for 15 minutes and I got to speak with him about just every product we had.

He offered great information and great advice.

Sam Walton's advice to Me: Successful people do Successful things.


I am a Success and I often think of Mr. Walton, I was already motivated and determined to make it in Life, He just pour more gasoline on my fire ;-)


Thanks Sam !

OK, but it is not a total loss to US (or Canadian) economy. There is still warehousing and transportation industries that are positively impacted, to name a few. Also payroll for employees goes back to local economies.

Some take the position that whatever customers save by buying at Walmart can be spent for goods that would not otherwise be purcheased. Some of that extra money surely goes into domestic pockets.

Wal-mart has been touting it's increased domestic produced inventory lately.

Reduced price usually comes with reduced quality. Some quality issues have driven customers back to more conventional stores.

But, the point ET was making is the huge difference between Walt-mart efficiency and BIG government's INefficiency.

Re: WalMart VS The Morons that run this country
The real lesson hers is not that the private sector does a better job but someone else comes along that is willing to change or improve. There are plenty of examples of companies not run well. Sears had a model that used to be popular but they refused to change as peoples buying habits did. If you were paying attention you would know this. They would then have sales with huge discounts of 25 to 50%. people bagain flocking to Walmart because they were not driving to several different places bargain hunting and opted more for lower every day prices.
