[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America is sucking balls. [/quote]

Do you think it’s fiscally healthy to have the USG as the nation’s largest employer?  It’s not sustainable.[/quote]

Yeah.  Having WalMart as our largest employer is a much better indicator of a healthy society and good priorities! [/quote]

It is.  It reflects an employer successfully meeting demand from consumers, and in doing so providing employment for 2.1M people, tax revenues for the governments where it operates, and business for its suppliers.  A good news success story if there ever has been one.  [/quote]

The government also does all of those things. It buys and sells, it has paying customers, its employees spend money and pay taxes.

Critically, some of the services government provides, like highway funds and ports and truck regulation, make it possible for Walmart to operate. Which is fine, that's part of the purpose of government - but you cannot pretend that only one of the two is a sustainable model. They are an inseparable ecosystem. [/quote]
