When you talk about taxpayer subsidies are you talking about Walmart getting to keep money they have earned or money they are given that formerly was not theirs?
I'm talking about walmart keeping so much money their employees need to hit the government up for things like health care.
Fact is, if walmart paid their employees just a bit more, and we're not talking a ton more, prices wouldn't be changed. Sure, maybe the CEO would have to take a paycut from 23mil a year to 21mil a year. Or maybe if the store manager's yearly bonus dropped from 130K to 120K they could cut it.
Bottom line... I have no problems with the stores earning money. I have problems with my tax dollars making up for their cheapness. Period.
