He may just have something here. Of course we all know that 'capitalism' doesn't work. LOL!

Yes, but more importantly, does he have a professorship in an IVY league institute?

what the ruling class doesn't get is that SMART people shop bargains...shop sales...shop for discounts and use coupons....

there is no shame in buying something from Walmart or Kmart or Shopko etc...when the rabble can save a few dollars here and there, its more money we can spend elsewhere....

While FEMA was hoarding water and ice at the Astrodome after Ike, Walmart was distributing same for free at it’s stores in the Houston area. They had stacks of generators and other essentials while FEMA was still arguing with local officials about who was in charge. Walmart rules!

So you’re saying that the government needs to grow faster?

Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.

If you consider that "English", I consider that e-mail BS.

I always said to win the wars in Iraq and Afganistan, just open 200 Walmarts with total security and reasonable prices and poof! WE WIN! ! ! !

People busy shopping are too busy to blow stuff up...

I love Wal-Mart. My Costco membership expires in November and I can’t think of any reason to re-up.

I can’t wait for WAL*CARE.

We’ll live within 15 minutes of a clinic and the longest line at WAL*MART never approaches the time you spend in the “Emergency Room” with a sucking chest wound waiting to see a bureaucrat to take your insurance information.

Interesting. I have been thinking of doing the opposite. Could you elaborate? Thanks.

“I love Wal-Mart.”

I minimized my shopping trips to Walmart, especially after they came out in favor of obamacare.

War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

We must use current dem/lib/prog/pop thinking and language for this statement. The "poor" not only WANT more, they have begun to demand more...in point of fact, they are even declaring that it is not a "WANT" but a RIGHT.
Example?? How about, "it is the right of every American citizen (legal and illegal) to have affordable health care."

Uhhh....No, it isn't.

. 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 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

Again....using dem/lib/prog/pop "new-think", or if you prefer, "high revolution, centrifigal thinking" (otherwise known as spin")..."think of how much oil we'd be using if we didn't have the Department of Energy!!!"
This is the exact same kind of spin (excuse me, I meant high revolution centrifugal thinking) the current regime uses to try to convince the unemployed that they are supposed to feel good about things in general because, "think of how many more of you there would be if our wonderful TARP and stimulus packages hadn't saved millions and millions of jobs."

Uhhh....no....they didn't.

My only problem with Walmart is that when they move in all the little mom and pop stores close up...oh and their “fresh” produce sucks.

Of course I take part of the blame in that because I shop at Walmart to get the better prices. Yes Walmart has cheap Chinese stuff, but they also carry the American stuff as well at cheaper prices.

The left has kept WalMart grocery stores out of San Diego and many other major cities, I look forward to someday being able to have that option of shopping at one.

Blah Blah Blah

"90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart"

I'm in the 10%! If I could fly I might be within 15 miles but driving it's not even close.

I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

Thanks, but no thanks. I can imagine the quality of service I'd receive if govt. bureaucrats wore blue vests. BTW, why do the BACK of their vests say "how may I help you?" If you're reading that message, it means they're walking AWAY from you.

Interesting ... at my local Supercenter, its the produce that is superior to everyone elses in the area ... but the Walmart meat there is sub-par and expensive.

The HP laptop I wanted was substantially cheaper at Wal-Mart and that's without the annoying membership requirement. The blue collarness of Wal-Mart appeals to my inner proletarian.

But I'm conflicted. Help! What are your thoughts?

Here in San Diego, after years of strong grocery union opposition, Walmart began carrying produce. No superstores were allowed here versus the ‘right to work’ States.

Amazing how fast the union stores cut prices to match competition. Walmart avocados are almost half price along with fresh cut fruit packages. ‘Simply’ products like refrigerated apple juice (my favorite) half the price.

The ‘biggest’ list goes on with Walmart (private employer vs government) with its support infrastructure, largest trucking fleet, largest satellite system.....

In Wal-Mart’s defense, I’m sure they figure that from a business standpoint, Obamacare will save them a boat load of money.

It’s the poor employees who will get screwed with crappy healtcare.
