let's not forget how many jobs it offers for not only big wigs and college grads but teenagers too. and with all of the products it sells, it's making other companies big money and people do work for those other companies too. cargo shipping companies make big bucks off of wal mart, trucking companies, etc. it's just an all around friggin amazing business.

growth is greatness.
That was a sad display of corporate attitude. Didn't know Northeasterners were so fond of Wal-Mart!

[LEFT]Texas ranks 45th out of the 50 U.S. states for the weight of its total state and local tax burden, according to a report by The Tax Foundation.
The report by the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit think tank said tax burdens in fiscal year 2009 fell from the previous year, and said New Jersey residents paid the highest combination of income, sales, property and other taxes at 12.1 percent.
Texans paid only 7.1 percent over the same period.
