How evil, you ask? The horrible, disgusting capitalist company is rolling out its $4 generic prescription drug program to its stores in 12 more states, including its 139 stores in Georgia. From the Atlanta Business Chronicle:
The $4 generic program includes 314 generic prescriptions available for up to a 30-day supply at commonly prescribed dosages. The list of 314 generic prescriptions is made up of as many as 143 compounds in 24 therapeutic categories.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) said it concluded the list of $4 prescription medications represents nearly 25 percent of generic prescriptions currently dispensed in its pharmacies. According to the www.rxlist.com, the list also represents 14 of the top 20 prescribed medications in the United States. Generic medicines have an estimated cost that is 30 to 60 percent lower than an equivalent brand name product.
And to make PROVE to you capitalism doesn't work: Target has matched the $4 drug program in Florida and plans to everywhere else, including here in Georgia.

It's a total pain in the ass to try and find anything in a Wal-Mart.
But Joe,
The joy of Wal Mart is the total emersion into Latino Culture, especially on Sunday afternoon.
Wal-Mart has done more to alleviate world poverty than all non-profits combined. Read here for the evidence.
On a side note: O'Reilly will be on Oprah tomorrow and Letterman tomorrow night. Set your tivos.
what is a "tivo?"
do people really own tivos?
Tivo sounds like a Sesame Street character.
God, I wish I owned one.
The funny thing is I actually set my DVR for O'Reilly on Letterman the other night.
I'm not really sure what they are either. I always thought I was the only one that didn't have one.
