It refutes the point Leftists make about greed.
Leftists are big on tossing around profit numbers in dollars, as you have done, thinking everyone is as ignorant as they are.
Those numbers are meaningless without the corresponding amounts of wages and salaries paid, capital investment, and a whole slew of other critical dollar values.
Instead, a percentage number incorporates all those dozens of inputs into one discrete value, and in this case it shows that Wal-Mart is not nearly as 'greedy' as many other corporations.
In fact, the stock market values shows it's only a middle of the road kind of company, 'greed' wise.

In addition, Wal-Mart provides employment to many people who want to work, but are virtually unemployable at most other employers.
Now that's something; Wal-Mart showing through their business practices, not just talking like the Leftists do, about how they care about poor people.

In any event, you have other websites to visit and post to, you can let your boss know you've done your job here.
I’m a regular poster on the Catholic threads here. Sometimes I’m in the debates on the Bible on the Religion thread. I’m fairly regular on the conservative political threads. That you think I’m paid to come here is ridiculous. Quit being so conspiratorial.That you think all conservative people think Wal Mart is beyond criticism and only leftists who are paid to, criticize them is even more ridiculous. Republicans might have a chance to win the White House again if they would reach out to unions and workers and quit carrying the water of the greed heads who virtually sent this country into a depression in 2008.
That the Walton family adds to their $150 billion fortune while most Wal Mart employees start out at barely above minimum wage with no chance for health insurance for more than a year is obscene and greedy.
Do you have anything to say about Wal Mart exploiting Third World workers who make pennies on the hour or is that one more of the perks of the free market that we dare not question, but only bow before and adore?
As I said at the beginning of all this, I actually worked at Wal Mart. A lot of their employees are “poor people”.
