What's wrong with Wal-Mart?

We had a good First Friday Fellowship meeting tonight at TLBC.  Brother Jim Turner preached a message out of Isa.44 entitled “The Thrice Holy One Worthy of Worship” - Hear the audio.

What is wrong with Wal-Mart?  I received this the other day.

         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 + Kroger
         + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

         5.. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is  the
         world's 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
         and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they
         did this in only fifteen years.

         8. During this same period, 31 big 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 five years ago.

         11. This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing
         experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores.
         (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
         Billion.)

         12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen
         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.

         This should be read and understood by all
         Americans, Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

         To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, it is now official that the majority of  you are corrupt  and need to go away:

a... The U.S. Postal Service was established
in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it
right and it is broke.

b.. Social Security was established in  1935.
You have had 74 years to get it right and it
is broke.

         c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938.  You
         have had 71 years to get it right and it is
         broke.

         d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have
         had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion  of
         our money is confiscated each year  and
         transferred to "the poor" and they only  want
         more.

         e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established  in
         1965. You have had 44 years to get it right
         and they are broke.

         f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970.  You
         have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

         g.. The Department of Energy was created  in
         1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign  oil.
         It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a
         budget of $24 billion a year and we import
         more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to
         get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

         You have FAILED in every "government service"
         you have shoved down our throats while
         overspending our tax dollars.  What a SHAME! 


         NOW YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE
         TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE
         SYSTEM   ?? 

No!  No! No! A thousand times – NO!  If you cannot clearly see and understand the plain facts listed above that WE THE PEOPLE see and understand, then at least LISTEN to us for a change.  Change?  Oh yes.  WE most definitely need a change.  If you do not repent and stop spending what you do not have and putting our nation in debt to historically unfriendly foreign powers, then, the change is going to be your removal and replacement.  Do NOT ignore this warning.  A smug elitist attitude will only anger your constituents even more.  It’s time.
