Who knew... One of the capitalists on CNBC claims that the American
poor have it good. In fact, they are doing so well that there is no reason at all to continue to assist them in any way.

The reason they are having it so great is, get this....

You ready....







Walmart...

You heard me right.

Walmart is saving the poor in America. Allowing them to buy color TV's, do they even make black and white TV's anymore, clothes and food. And they have the cable. Proof, The Heritage Foundation, the right wing no-think tank, did a study.

There you have it.

Good old Walmart.

3. Well, that explains it....
......that's why they are in such a hurry to add to the numbers of American poor.

Hurry, avoid the rush, give all your shit to the republicans so you can enjoy the good life of the American poor!

6. It's amazing how the mind of the capitalist works, isn't it?
The poor have it good buying cheap shit at Walmart... which is made by even poorer people in China... poor Chinese people that have the jobs that the poor people in America used to have... draining their resources, while sending their wealth up the economic ladder... making the rich even richer so they can afford to outsource even more jobs... causing the losses of even more jobs for the poor in America... forcing them to shop at Walmart...

Yeah, the poor never had it so good.

9. WalMart - the GOP's ideal company store.
In an ideal Republican world, there would be only ONE store for the masses and the boutiques for the rich.
