*This should boggle your mind!! And****Probably**scare
you as well!**

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 â?? thatâ??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 it's 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?????????*
