If Wal Mart pays, the taxpayer has the choice on whether to pay by buying Wal Mart products, or not...

Nope...Without Wal Mart paid benefits, you and I pay for state sponsored health care for these people whether we shop at Wal Mart or not...

Again, I'll ask you, will you pay less or more if Wal-Mart didn't provide the jobs at all? Will you reply again, as you did before that:

Wal Mart is selling products that other American retailers used to sell to Americans, made by Americans

Thereby implying that if only Mom and Pop still employed these folks they would somehow get generous benefits that you as a tax payer wouldn't have to pay for.

Why just Wal-Mart? Why not all the employers in the country?

Oh... so the people who shop at Wal Mart are paying higher so that the non-Wal Mart shoppers don't have to pay higher taxes? Is that right?

Ok.... and how about we have a hurricane tax in the gulf coast and part of the eastern sea board... mmmmm let's see, a tornado tax in the midwest (higher rates in TX and OK of course), a wild fire and mudslide tax in CA.... you may be on to something here...

Better yet, why not just have people pay their own way.... I don't get it....
