So what store doesn’t take EBT? Why single out Walmart?

Not meant as an attack on Wal*Mart.

However, the EBT platform (which dramatically expanded over the past 8 years) effectively redistributes income from taxpayers, to Food Stamp recipients, to giant corporations. The article states that food is half of WMTs revenue, and my guess is 30% are EBT transactions. Much of this is on our children and grandchildrens credit card.

This is big government in action, and why it’s going to be challenging to reign it in.
