HOW BIG IS WAL-MART?

At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every  hour of every  day.
This  works out to  $20,928 profit every minute!
Wal-Mart will  sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day  (March 17th) than Target sells all  year.
Wal-Mart is  bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears +  Costco + K-Mart  combined.
Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer.  And most can't speak English.
Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
Wal-Mart now sells more  food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep  in mind they did this in only 15 years.
During  this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie).
Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
Wal-Mart has approx.  3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Supercenters; this is 1,000 more than  it had 5 years ago.
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 
WHY NOT LET  Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street!!
