                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, keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

                8. During this same period, 31 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 5 years ago.

                11. 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.

                13.  The value of product for Wal-Mart passing through
                the <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>
                port of San Diego each year is a larger sum than 93%
                of<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>ALL
                countries Gross National Product (GNP)..... and that is
                only ONE port... one way that's how Wal-Mart gets it's
                stuff.

                *14.  Of the 1.6  million employees, only 1.2%***
                <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>*Make
                a living above the poverty level.*

                15. Wal-Mart's head office is located and centralized in
                Bentonville.
                <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>

                Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per square
                mile there than any place on Earth.

                16. The official U.S. Government position is that
                Wal-Mart's
                <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>prices
                are no lower than anyone else's when compared to a
                typical families weekly purchase. That's the view of 
                the statisticians at the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
                (BLS) responsible for calculating the  Consumer Price
                Index (CPI).

                17.*92%*of everything Wal-Mart sells, comes
                from*China***. Another*4%*comes from*Chinese*owned
                companies in the*U*.*S*. or in 3rd world Countries.

                18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out life
                insurance on it's employees, without their
                knowing.<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join>

                If an employee dies, ALL the insurance moneys go to the
                companies. (/i.e./An employee making $18,000 per year,
                dies, and the company might make as much as $1 million.
                Most often these moneys, coming from what is commonly
                referred to as "Dead Peasant Life Insurance Policies",
                <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Amdavadis4Ever/join> is
                paid out to executives as bonuses.A common practice,
                unknown by the average consumer).

                19. Wal-Mart now averages a "profit" (not sales) of $36
                billion per year.

                20. Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street. If not, consider
                shopping someplace else.

                *If we closed all the Wal-Mart stores would China go
                bankrupt?*
