1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 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 can't speak English.



6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.



7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway

combined, 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

approximately 6.5 billion.)



12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.



13. The value of product for Wal-Mart passing through the port

of San Diego each year is a larger sum than 93% of ALL

countries Gross National Product (GNP) ......and that is only

ONE port ...one way � that�s how Wal-Mart gets it's stuff.



14. Of the 1.6 million employees, only 1.2% make a living

above the poverty level.



15. Wal-Mart's head office is located and centralized in

Bentonville. Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per

square mile there than any place on Earth.



16. The official U.S. Government position is that Wal-Mart's

prices are no lower than anyone else's when compared to a

typical families weekly purchases. That's the view of the

statisticians at the Bureau Of Labor Statistics (BLS)

responsible for calculating the Consumer Price Index (CPI).



17. 92% of everything Wal-Mart sells, comes from China ..

Another 4% comes from Chinese owned companies in the U.S. or

in 3rd world Countries.



18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out life insurance

on its employees, without their knowing. If an employee dies,

ALL the insurance moneys go to the companies, i.e. an employee

making $18,000 per year, dies, and the company might make as

much as $1 million. Most often these moneys, coming from what

is commonly referred to as "Dead Peasant Life Insurance

Policies", is paid out to executives as bonuses. (A common

practice, unknown by the average consumer).



19... Wal-Mart now averages a "profit" (not sales) of $36

billion per year.



20. Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street. If not, consider

shopping someplace else.



If we closed all the Wal-Mart stores would China go

bankrupt?????????


Ever notice we never see Mark Wieber or most of his clique of idiots discussing the damage Walmart has done to America.
