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.

Of course it is the issue. That's why towns want them and give them breaks to build.

Tell them no. Too complex?
