Should the CEO of Wal-Mart be the world's chief executive officer? Should Sam Walton's mug be on Mount Rushmore? Duh. The answer to these questions, and the one in red above, is not only NO, but HELL NO! The damage these parasites have done is sickening enough already, but I'm sure there are enough morons out there to make banking a profitable venture for "Da Mart" as well.
See that idiot over there in aisle 9? His manufacturing job was outsourced to China. Fortunately, he has good ol' cheap Wal-Mart around the corner to save the day for him! And let's look at Americana. Why do you suppose that most mid-sized cities look like "donut holes" in their downtown areas. It's because bargain hunters are on the brink of pricing our (once?) great nation out of existence. I've spent my whole life looking for that "Made in the USA" label on everything, but in recent years it has become fruitless. Americans should be thoroughly ashamed of their short-sightedness, greed, and stupidity-already! And now Wal-Mart wants to go into banking?
Wal-Mart is a well-oiled machine that seems bent on taking over the world, and I'm sure that they would offer a decent quality of banking. I guess it would be pretty hard to outsource a bank teller's job to China or India. Besides that, it would give WM's sub-poverty level employees a place to deposit their $400 bi-weekly check. STOP! Hey, Wal-Mart fans, I'm being sarcastic here! On sheer principle (not principal) alone, everybody ought to take a long look at what Wal-Mart has done to the world. If you can look at yourself in a mirror and say, "I'm banking at Wal-Mart" without making yourself sick, then you're exactly the type of person who should open up an account there. Don't worry about anybody else.
