With sales of almost $259 billion — nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars wal-mart is my hero...when I grow up I want to be just like them...

how many pairs of socks is that?

Did you also read where China has started to impact Mexicos industries. The Mexicans are hard pressed to keep up with the cheap labor that china can provide. They are competing across the board, from shoes to camcorders. Jobs that were once secure are now being lost.
It would seem that we are not the only country where the jobs are flowing overseas. Some day I hope these things equal out.

Walmart is one if not the most sucessful company in U.S. history. Sam Walton started an amazing company and each of his children (he is dead now of course) are worth billions. Walmart was on of the few companies that when the stock market was going down Walmart stock went up and went up huge. Think about this way how many companies in the US are so hated by small businesses that when Walmart says they will come to your town small business has a fit.

Even if Wal-mart does have the best business, they are monopolizing it. They have no compition, I mean K-mart was there only rival really but now they are basically dead. Its just weird that they let wal-mart monopolize the markey.

I must say one thing it is great when you hear your world history teacher rant and rave about wal-mart

I remember listenin to a Cspan Lecture bout how Walmart cost the American public tax payers millons each year, because walmart is one of the #1 job suppliers in america and they refuse to give there employs decent wages and health insurance, so those same people have to apply for wick and foodstamps which we the american taxpayer end up frontin the bill on.. ill see if i can dig up the article...

a lot of times the smaller businesses go out of business when a wal mart comes to town. wal mart has a lot of stuff for cheap. people will go to wal mart for food and other stuff. taking business away from the smaller places.
