Have You Ever Wondered WHY ??

Have you ever wondered why when you stroll through your grocery store, you will see bread at $2.00 or more. Or you might see cantaloupes at $3.00 each. Or a pint of Strawberries at $4.50. Or tomatoes at $2.98 per pound. Or some name brand milks at almost $4.00 or more per gallon ????

Have you ever wondered why some good manufacturing jobs, (knitting, sewing, clothing) are moving out of our country, leaving some of our citizens with educations of High School or less struggling to find jobs to support their families ?????

Have you ever wondered why after Hurricane Katrina fuel costs soared to $4.00 to $6.00 per gallon, and the Bush administration did not place price caps on the fuel costs at the pumps ?????

Have you ever wondered why the fuel costs this summer are so violent and up and down, and there are no real disasters in the Middle East causing conflict for the fluctuation and their have not been any major storms that have destroyed our production or distribution of fuel to cause the rise in fuel costs this summer, that in some areas of the country a gallon of gas is near the $3.50 per gallon mark ?????

Have you ever wondered why the average American worker is cutting his/her family food budget to fill his tank with gas to go to work and also meet his monthly bills ?????

A lot of people will say that Corporate Giant Wal-Mart is behind the destruction of America. When Wal-Mart makes plans to build and open a new SuperCenter in a town, petitions go up, people go nuts. They will say the Wal-Mart drives out the local Mom-Pop stores and destroys a town because they can't compete with the pricing. They say the Wal-Mart buys their clothing and products from 3rd world nations at cheap prices, closing manufacturing in the USA. Wal-Mart only offers jobs at $7.00 to $10.00 per hour for employees, driving down the middle class to lower class.

Yes the Good Ole Boys Club in Washington DC. Would like you to believe all of this. That Wal-Mart is behind the DESTRUCTION of America and the AMERICAN FAMILY. They do not want you to know the truth !!!!

Yes Wal-Mart does hire clerks and department workers for $7.00 to $10.00 per hour. And yes when a SuperCenter does come to a town some Mom-Pop stores do close up. But truth be told, behind the scenes, all of the Great Value Food, Wal-Mart's brand label is 100% made in the USA !!!!

How do I know, for several years I worked for a company as a 2nd shift distribution center traffic manager, shipping out all of Wal-Mart's private label Great Value cheese. This company had about 23 production plants nation wide, 7 distribution centers, that catered to Wal-Mart and offered jobs to people with High School diplomas or less starting at $13.00 to $22.00 per hour with health insurance, profit sharing, 401K, and many other excellent benefits. Now we just MADE the Great Value Cheese. Wal-Mart has its own Private label of EVERY other food type offered on the market !!!!! So that means there are other manufacturing companies out there that are catering to Wal-Mart and hiring employees just the same as the company I was working for.

So even though Wal-Mart offers you cheap clothing purchased from a 3rd world nation, all of its Private label food products Great Value Brand is 100% made in the USA !!!! Can all of the Name Brand food companies make that claim ?? Only in the Winter, when fruit HAS to be imported from South America, and it is by all Grocery Stores, does Wal-Mart offer food not from the USA.

I can also guarantee you this, being involved in the distribution and shipping, Wal-Mart WILL not accept anything unless it is perfect ~ so if you are buying you food especially the Great Value brand you are getting the best TOP quality that is on the market ~ Wal-Mart has discontinued business with manufacturers if they have not kept up to the quality standards Wal-Mart sets....

So with this new information is Corporate Giant Wal-Mart behind the Destruction of America ??????

The Good Ole Boys Club in Washington DC. especially George Bush are happy to let Wal-Mart take the blame for the destruction of America, but why ??

Many, many years ago, before G.W. Bush (the Dad) and George Bush our current so-called president were in office, Granddaddy Bush was on the Board of Directors of Standard Oil Company.... Standard Oil is the parent company of (Texaco's, Caltex's and Texaco Quick Lubes) and their subsidiaries.

George Bush and the Bush family still have major stock holdings in Standard Oil. Standard Oil has posted the HIGHEST 1st & 2nd quarter earnings of any of the big oil companies out there. George Bush can not run for office in 2008. So he will be out of a job !!!! Standard Oils earnings are available on the internet on their company profile, as a company on the stock exchange, they must post this information for the public. George Bush's financial records are also available on the internet as a public official, he must disclose his financial statement as public record, so anyone who might not believe the validity of my article may check out the information for themselves....

Wal-Mart is not the cause of the destruction of America and why you pay so much at the grocery store check out line !! Fuel costs are !!! Big oil companies, Standard Oil is the major culprit why you are paying more at your grocery store check out line.

Why has there been no fuel price cap during Hurricane Katrina, why has there been no fuel price cap this summer as the gas prices go out of control for no ungodly reason except for the greed of money and wealth. Why has the Bush administration sat idly by while the AVERAGE American working man struggles to fill his tank and feed his family ???

Seems to me that having major stock and ties to Standard Oil might just be a conflict of interest Mr. Bush !!!!

Has Wal-Mart been the decline of America or has it been the agenda of the Good Ole Boys Club in Washington DC. ???

Something to Think About !!!!~~~!!!

Just one man's opinion. As always, put the wind in your hair and keep the sun to your back. Be good and stay safe. Peace, Love and prosperity to all.

Good Journeys !!!
