subsidizing the evil walmart and other corps that not only do not pay their taxes, they do not pay a living wage. But here is what is even more stupid.

Walmart has all of their little lobbyists running around Congress and every state legislature to avoid taxes and spread the propaganda about the evils of welfare and food stamps. Yet, in most towns where there is an evil walmart, they are often the only grocery left standing (after destroying the competition) or they have people convinced they actually have the "low prices" (trademarked lie of walmart). So where are their employees going to spend their food stamps....at the evil walmart of course; along with all of the other brainwashed people who believe the lies about prices. So by lobbying against food stamps, they are cutting into their own business.

Bloody brilliant.......
