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.

Tell them no. Too complex?

"Tell them no. Too complex?"

From your lips to the politicians ears.

I certainly wish that more local planning boards and governments would tell companies like Walmart to pound sand when they demand concessions and tax breaks but unfortunately too many of them fold like cheap cameras (available in aisle 6 at Walmart).

Walmart and other corporations should not get free rides off the back's of the local taxpayers but it happens every day. Walmart and other companies like it have made a science out of getting sweetheart deals and eminent domain takings from municipalities and I don't fault them for trying to get the best deal they can but I do think it is a joke when so called conservatives hold Walmart up as a beacon of "great American business". Walmart is out for Walmart, not anyone or anything else.
