I think it's the other way around.
The TAXES the Government at ALL levels collect from Walmart would drop substantially if they were unionized, not to mention the drop in retail sales alone because prices would have to be escalated in order to compensate for union wages.and demands.
I can't see the Government killing their "golden goose" to appease the unions.
Walmart currently pays a lot of taxes. Last year, for example, the company paid $7 billion of taxes--a bill that reduced its income before taxes from $22 billion to $15 billion.
If Walmart were to eliminate its $22 billion of income before taxes by giving every employee a raise, it would then pay no taxes. Which wouldn't help our national budget deficit.
I could be wrong but I would guess you would see them close down GM before they unionize Walmart.
President Cloward-Piven doesn't CARE about tax revenue. "Taxing the rich" will result in LESS revenue.
It's about "overwhelming the system" so he can replace it with a socialist paradise and kill off the ones who don't like it.
