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.

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.

The sales tax revenue that Walmart creates is also not the issue. Almost every successful business creates tax revenue but not every business demands and gets subsidies and tax breaks like Walmart does.

My whole point, which you chose to ignore, is that the aura of Walmart as a Conservative company is a sham. Walmart may have some conservative values but when it is in its best business interests, Walmart avails itself of every thing it can take from taxpayers. It feeds on the government porkbarrel which is hardly a conservative value.

I am not anti-Walmart, I am however anti-Walmartsuckup. The people who seem to think that Walmart can do no wrong and is the best thing that ever happened to America are naive at best, just plain stupid at worst.
