•The Walton family is worth $150 billion, about as much as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Michael Bloomberg combined.

Clarification...

Six members of the Walton family hold more wealth than the bottom thirty three per cent of Americans.

Fact...Wal Mart pay is so bad that that a majority of their employees are on government doles. In other words, American taxpayers are subsidizing Wal Mart.

Mr.Sam wouldn't recognize the monstrosity that his company has become.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

When I lived in Lebanon, Missouri, I would get raw chickens from a butcher across the street from the Post Office, and take them home and cook them. After they opened Wal-Mart, he could not compete. He closed the shop and sold all the equipment. ;)

Her family put up the money to put ole Sam in business.

There was a recent study done as to what Wal Mart COSTS THE TAXPAYERS.

Part of it was that last year, if the family took 4 billion less in profit, not one of their employees would be under the poverty level.

That would have left Wal Mart with 18 billion in profit.

How about some activism of exposing Wal Mart's slave labor. Signs right in front of their stores.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)
