Please read this all the way to the bottom. It's a very logical decision. HOW BIG IS WAL-MART? This should boggle your mind!!And scare you as well! HOW BIG IS WAL-MART? 1 .At Wal-Mart,Americans spend $36,000,000 every hourof every day. 2 .This works out to $20,928 profitevery minute! 3.Wal-Mart will sell morefrom 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 peopleand is the largest private employer. And most can't speak English 6.Wal-Mart is the largest companyin the history of the World. 7.Wal-Mart now sells more foodthan Kroger & Safeway combined,and keep in mind they did thisin only 15 years. 8.During this same period,31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy(including Winn-Dixie). 9.Wal-Mart now sells more foodthan any other store in the world. 10.Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 storesin the USA of which 1,906 are SuperCenters;this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago. 11.This year, 7.2 billion differentpurchasing experiences will occurat a Wal-Mart store.(Earth's population is approximately6.5 billion.) 12.90% of all Americans livewithin 15 miles of a Wal-Mart 13 I suggest we Let Wal Mart bail out Wall Street and the Auto industry !

I know there was a big piece on them about a month ago, how they explote the workers, and how many roberies have happened in the parking lots in Walmart and walmart people dont even care... I would say boycott them but there is no where else for us to shop. I can't aford the regular prices that other people have. Well sometimes the dollar store has GREAT prices on stuf that even beat walmart... Oh well its never easy thats for sure!!!
