Walmart is a money-extracting cancer on the country but should the headline of the OP read "Walmart Cost Taxpayers $6.2 Billion In Public Assistance" instead of "Walmart Workers Cost Taxpayers $6.2 Billion In Public Assistance"?

It's the corporation not the exploited workers that are costing us taxpayers all this money by not paying living wages.
