I heard recently that the City of Chicago refused a permit that would allow Wal-Mart to build a Super-Center in that city. Wal-Mart moved a block or so from their chosen location to a neighboring town and is building there. That little town will reap millions of dollars in taxes from Wal-Mart which could have gone to Chicago. Stupid Chicage. Wal-Mart advertised that 370 jobs were available and received 25,000 applications for those positions. Stupid Chicago.

Also, it is incorrect to state that Wal-Mart does not provide healthcare plans for employees. They do.
