They don't seem to mind using a union carrier that puts $ in our pockets.

Have you ever delivered to a Wal-Mart D-C? YRCF represents a tiny fraction of the carriers. And I would be very curious as to whether or not Wal-Mart freight really pays much of anything.

It amazes me how this faulty study has fooled so many. Just proves unions are full of gullible idiots.

Wal-Mart isn't being subsidized one penny. This isn't a Wal-Mart problem or issue. The problem is government making welfare to easy to recieve. It's the employees choosing welfare over getting a second job or finding a new better job.

I shop at Walmart, depending on what I an buying. Their loss leaders and sales are as good as their competitors. If I were on food stamps, I would be grateful for their low prices, the company is helping people on govt assistance stretch their food budgets further. Has the tax fairness people and TDU have no sympathy for the less fortunate, can they not see the good things Walmart does?

Not Wal-Mart's problem. Call your representatives and ask why employed people are getting welfare. This about lazy employees, not Wal-Mart paying enough.
 
Its corporate socialism, or corporate welfare either way your tax dollars are used to increase there profits, it's all in the public record,

If you think it ok then that's your opinion but to say its not happening would mean your very out of touch with reality

You have zero clue what socialism or or welfare is. Who's actually receiving the money? The employees or Wal-Mart?

It's not my opinion, it's fact.

Why yes I have delivered to many walmart dcs.the reason we're a tiny fraction of the bizz is we trap ltl freight until a full trailer to deliver and walmart deals in full loads primarily. No idea what freight rate is

What facts are you talking about??????

I posted a link that will broke everything down on a state by state basis,

If I could dumb this down anymore I would but I'll be damned I just don't know how to make this any simpler

You gave a stupid anti Wal-Mart website spreading faulty info. No facts.

Again who is actually receiving the welfare? Wal-Mart or the employees? And you assume that Wal-Mart would pay more if these so called subsidies didn't exist.
I go to Wal-Mart alot. I love spending my my union negotiated dollars there. Wal-Mart gives me more buying power.

The problem is the employees receiving the welfare are lazy. They would rather file for and receive welfare than get a second job or a new better job.
 
I refuse to enter a Walmart. I went in there a time or two because I like to check everything out, I'm nosy like that. I couldn't differentiate between the workers or the patrons.

Maybe someday as you get older you will realize what they have done to this country.. Until then I hope you feel good about spending your "UNION" dollars there.. Forget about your neighbors that might have businesses in the area.. Never know you just might run into "Joe the Plumber" there.. eating his chocolate bars..

Your missing the point entirely, wal mart gets tax breaks that your tax dollars pay for

The web site clearly list things on a state by state basis,

Shop there if you want but when you add up the hidden costs there not as cheap as you might think

Do you even know what you're saying? Tax breaks for Wal-Mart has nothing to do with my money. A tax break for Wal-Mart means they get to keep more of their own earned money.

The website is bias and ran by morons like you. I ask again genius, who is actually receiving the welfare? Wal-Mart or the employees?

Before you try to debate on my level, make sure you know what the hell you're talking about. A government subsidy is when government gives actual money to the business. In this case no money is being given to Wal-Mart. A tax break by definition isn't a subsidy.

In a way it does, for example if you have one in your municipality and they offered a tax break for them to locate there then your tax dollars are making up for the extra police coverage, traffic coverage, street repairs etc..
