Will there be any griping and moaning about the $2 billion WalMart has just awarded its employees? Probably not. And do you know why? Because that money went to hourly employees. And to wealth-envy Americans, these are the people that really deserve the bonuses. Not the people who manage those employees, or manage the payroll .. those people are evil. But the people who make sure that the video game isle is clear for the dumb masses .. it's okay to give those people bonuses.

On the other side .. Democrats just love to demonize WalMart because it doesn't have a unionized workforce. When the Democrats get their beloved card check bill passed, WalMart is going to be one of the first targets, if not THE first. Some rating agencies have already reduced the rating they give Wal-Mart on the expectation that Wall-Mart will be hurt badly by the Unionization by Intimidation bill. But if Democrats were really worried about workers rights and a living wage and proper benefits, then I'll bet they are just livid to hear that WalMart is awarding roughly $2 billion to hourly employees, which includes $933.6 million in bonuses, $788.8 million in profit sharing and 401(k) contributions, millions of dollars in merchandise discounts, and contributions to its employee stock purchase plan. That hideous corporation! Doesn't WalMart know that these Democrats are trying to make people MORE reliant on government?

Have you heard the news about Wal-Mart? Whenever I mention Wal-Mart, most liberals start rolling their eyes ... it is "anti-union" or it is an "evil corporation." Well Wal-Mart has decided to enter into the world of digitized healthcare data by unveiling its own version of high-tech medical records.

Only get this ... Wal-Mart can do it cheaper and faster than the government can! Now if this surprises you it's evident you haven't been paying attention.

A Wal-Mart spokesperson says the company is partnering with Dell and software maker eClinicalWorks to launch a bundled electronic health records package for doctors. The package will include installation and maintenance and it will be offered through the company's Sam's Club discount-warehouse division, which caters to small businesses.

And guess what .. it will be launched by this spring. Just how fast do you think the government could get this done?

Lesson? In virtually every field, every endeavor ... the private sector can get it done faster and more efficiently than government. The problem is that if the private sector accomplishes a worthy goal, the private sector gets the credit. If government does it, no matter how badly, the government gets the credit. This man in the White House loves government. America, to him, is government. You cannot allow the private sector to do something that government can do. It weakens government .. and this doesn't make Democrats happy.

Let's see what the Democrats come up with to thwart Wal-Mart's plans.

The nation's largest employer is laying off between 700 and 800 workers. I wonder if these laid off workers are telling their friends ... "That's OK. The job sucked anyway because there was no union."
