Walmart is ripping off taxpayers; they take lucrative tax breaks to operate their chains across the U.S. Walmart is ripping off their employees; those tax savings do not trickle into wages but to executive bonuses. Walmart's handful of executives are worth more than their entire workforce by many times over. And when those employees can't afford to live where they work, they turn to our social safety net, and even use payday loans at a higher rate than people with livable wages do.
