And yet Walmart only onpens 3 lines out of 20 during busy hours. Ever notice?

1) Multiply all the numbers by 20 or more

2) Replace every occurrence of "purchase" and "profit" with "waste" and "debt"

3) Replace every occurrence of "Wal-Mart" with "the U.S. government"

Wal-mart does so well what bumbling incompetent bureaucratic buffoons can only dream of doing.

Sounds like one of Obama's socialist ideas to me. Maybe Walmart could expand to health care next.

Wal-Mart has destroyed the small businesses wherever they go, Ill be glad when we finally tear down their monopoly. They have caused America so much job loss and you fools still feed the Communist Chinese military by shopping here.

Walmart has destroyed our economy. Think about it. It is the ultimate in anti-competitive business. Walmart is totally un-American in every sense of the word.

Wal mart un-American?????? It is totally American. Build a market and be the best at it. Eliminate the compition by drving them from your market. Capitalism does not mean share the wealth. That is socialism. Think.

Wrong. With capitalism, there must always be an anti-monopolistic law enforcement. The people must be protected from the rich elite. Sam Walton and his Freemasonic monopoly of our country are the absolute ruin of capitalism.
Walmart is un-American. So is Citi, Goldman, BOA, Exxon, British Petroleum, etc.
Our Country is being monopolized by rich elitists. It is oligarchy, not capitalism.

What in the world have the Masons have anything to do with Walmart?I have relatives and friends in the Masons and believe me they do not control the world. This is just another conspiriacy theory like the ones that say the Jews,The Pope,the liberal media, Fox news,Israel,the Christian right,the Hollywood left or the Keebler elves control the world.

They do control the world. Except for the Keebler elves. They just control the price of cookies.

Sam Walton was a Freemason. The symbols used by the organization are masonic. The top down pyramid control of our economy is a masonic goal.

People who know blue level masons believe Freemasonry is harmless. Sorry for your lack of knowledge. It is understandable. Those of us who know the truth are trying to help the rest of you catch up.

Read. Listen. Think. As above, so below. Order out of chaos. Problem, reaction, solution. Destroy the world then, create a new one.
