The staff of the House Committee on Education and Workforce estimates that because of the low wages of Wal-Mart, a Wal-Mart employee may result in a cost to federal taxpayers of around $2,103 in the form of federal public assistance programs. With approximately 1.3 million US employees and growing, this amounts to a total of $2.7 billion a year.Your link is an outright lie.
Your link is titled "House Committee on Education and Workforce" but it leads to an anti-Wal*mart website which in turn cites "estimates" of "the staff" of a House committee.
How many outright deceptions are you permitted here in your "career" as a Free Republic poster?

It's not posting leftist crap that bothers me. It's the song & dance that occurs after it is pointed out.

If lying were enough to get you banned, he'd have lasted a week. Maybe.

WalMart paid $5.8 billion in income taxes last year. They paid $2.5 billion in dividends. I don't know how much sales tax local communities receive from WalMart's $315.6 billion in sales, but I'd think that's another $15 billion or more.
