I'm helping spread the truth about Wal-Mart. Will you join me?

* Over 600,000 Wal-Mart employees lack healthcare. An estimated 46% of the children of Wal-Mart employees is on federal or state healthcare plans.

* The State of California already spends over $89 million dollars subsidizing Wal-Mart's underpaid employees in the state. Wal-Mart plans to add dozens of new stores throughout California in 2005 and 2006.

* Wal-Mart currently represents 8% of total retail sales in the US (non-auto). Lee Scott has been quoted as saying "I can't see why we can't be at least 20%". This is terrifying.
