Walmart recieves more government subsidies than any other corporation in the United States. I have to crack up when I read some people's comments that they are a conservative company. What a crock. Walmart takes public tax dollars and subsidies left and right, every way they can. They just wave the American flag while doing it, which I guess is enough to fool some of the folks here.
Why should politicians that you and I elect hand out subsidies at all? Corporate welfare sucks. Is Walmart holding a gun to the heads of our elected officials?
Shifting the blame? Someone walks in your office handing out as many $100 bills as you can carry, am I to believe you won't take any because of your "conservative" principles?
Walmart generates the largest amount of sales tax revenue in the country also. You, being such an expert, choose to ignore facts, just like your foolish anti Walmart friends.
