Wal-Mart provides health insurance for more people than GM, Ford and Chrysler combined.

Wal-Mart has done more to alleviate poverty globally than just about any other organization - certainly no NGO can come close to having the global affect of Wal-Mart.

And all from a guy who just wanted to sell lots of stuff to lots of people.
