1. They shouldn't get a dime

Time for them to go cold turkey.

2. Shouldn't the $8 billion that Walmart pays in corporate taxes be offset against this?

And how about the total income taxes paid by Walmart employees? And sales taxes collected by Walmart?

I'm just trying to figure out whether Walmart as a whole is a net benefit, or cost, to taxpayers.

Many of Wal-Mart's employees benefit from Earned Income Tax Credit provisions of the tax codes and thus pay little or even negative taxes. (This information comes of having family member slaving there)
