22. January 2010 by admin.

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.

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

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. You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the groundwork for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to Fix the economy because the fools in Washington sure can’t do it!

Our Federal government needs to get out of the business of dictating how we should live and how people throughout the world should live.  Their main responsibility is to see that we each have the right to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” and that we do not infringe on the rights of our neighbor to the same.

By sticking to the powers given to them in the Constitution, we would not be trillions of dollars in debt.  We would not have our young men and women scattered throughout the world being shot at.  We would not be headed toward a third world status.
