I received this email and decided after reading it that the title was incorrect. It's not Wal Mart vs. the Morons but should be Wal Mart for Teabaggers
There may be some truth to it but when you read it, you realize who probably put it together and their motive.
_____________________________________ 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 2,906 are 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. 13. Wal-Mart has gross sales that total more than the total revenue of all the countries in the world, except 6. 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 the President and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, both parties. It is now official - you are ALL corrupt morons: a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 235 years to get it right and it is broke. b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 75 years to get it right and it is broke. c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 72 years to get it right and it is broke. d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 46 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 45 years to get it right and they are broke. f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 40 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 33 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 ?? YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN THE AUTO INDUSTRY... THE BANKING SYSTEM????? MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WALMART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ??? WALMART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS... WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?

It is that the Republicans have done everything they can to destroy the programs.

5. You beat me to the punch |

All of the "failures" are from Republicans constantly fighting helping anyone, but those who are paying them. Also, look at what Wal-Mart has done to destroy America, their part-time, under paid, non-insured work force cost the country millions in welfare programs and tax dollars. They have restructured small towns across America. Growing up in my small town of 3000 we had two grocery stores, two hardware stores, two "general stores", a shoe store, furniture store, tire store, a T.V. store, drug store, auto parts store, barber shop and beauty parlor. All survived until Wal-mart moved into the next town (5 miles away). Today, the tire store, beauty parlor, and furniture stores survive and we have a Dollar General. To shop in a store that isn't a Wal-Mart I have to drive at least 15 miles, 25 to get a real choice.

2. How many millions does it cost the taxpayers in each town there is a Walmart? |
|
Some economist has figured out that each wallyworld costs the community several million dollars a year, between the sweetheart deals on the land with the city fathers, the lack of fulltime employment, the lack of health insurance for workers and their families, which means they have to go to medicaid and the taxpayers pay for their health care...it goes on and on.
The community loses because walmart does not give the money back to the communnity, by not paying their workers enough and not paying for health insurance.
LIES: SS and Medicare are not broke. The Post Office is not broke.
The rest of the civilized world uses cheaper and more efficient government-run health care.
