There's not a single red-blooded American who hasn't contributed
mightily to Haiti already, especially we conservatives. Every time we
purchase something at Walmart we're supporting the poor in China,
Haiti, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and elsewhere.

So, I don't know why we'd support Haiti in a separate fund raising
drive if we can do the same by supporting our local Walmarts. That's
double taxation!

Boycott Haiti relief! Shop Walmart!

I wasn't going to bring this up, but since you did, I will.

WALMART

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart 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 +Target + Sears + Costco +
K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private
employer, and most 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, and
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.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground
work 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!
