   Really? You think it took $500 Million dollars to start Wal-Mart?   
      
   Seems to me he did it with his own money and effort along with a $20,000   
   loan from his father-in-law.   
      
   Must suck that you think it would take you to open one store and it would   
   cost you half a billion to do.   
      
   ...of course, as inept as you are, I doubt you could make it successful even   
   then.
