Don't Need No Stinkin' WalMart
This story, Thousands apply for jobs at new Wal-Mart, is hillarious. Rush Limbaugh mentioned this story today, coming out of Evergreen Park, a suburb of Chicago.
A year and a half ago, the city of Chicago spurned an effort by WalMart to build a large store in Chicago because, well, ahhhh... they're ahhh .. evil ... ummm.. capitalists, yeh capitalists, and they umm... well they aren't union and they're evil ... and big.. big capitalists... And Chicago thrives onsocialism social programs, and WalMart is well...big ... big capitalists and evil.....and Chicago is healthy and thriving and flush with money, and they don't need no stinkin' WalMart!
So what is WalMart to do? Fold up? Tuck tail and go home. Hell no. Sensing that there is a need or want, for what they do and can provide; the well run, successful large business will come up with a plan "B". They go next door; in this case, to Evergreen Park, a suburb of Chicago.
The 141,000-square-foot store has 36 departments and is trying to fill 325 jobs. Almost unbelievably, they received 25,000 applications for these 325 jobs. All but 500 applicants listed Chicago as there address. But Chicago didn't need no stinkin' WalMart.
So just what does this mean to the city of Evergreen Park? Heretofore, this village collected about $3 million buckeroos in sales taxes for the year. In the first year of operation, WalMart is expected to bring in another $1 million in sales tax and property tax.
But remember, Chicago is flush with cash and don't need no stinkin WalMart.
"Anticipating the usual protests over wages, benefits and anti-union practices, the Evergreen Park store was union-built. A protest over minority set-asides was defused in one day. Wal-Mart also came bearing gifts -- Tuesday night, the corporation donated $35,000 to the village library, local hospital, churches and other village institutions, Sexton said."
And as we all know by now, Chicago doesn't need donations towards libraries and hopitals because they are flush with cash and don't need no stinkin' WalMart.

Let's hope WalMart does something along these lines with the state of Maryland and their new health insurance law; like aggressively building stores or warehouses in neighboring states like Pennsylvania, or Virginia.
