CJ, I dunno about you, but when the employees of a large and very profitable company are the single largest block of consumers of food stamps, Medicaid and other assistance, there is a problem. I've heard that argument before, that Wal-mart's low prices are being subsidized by government welfare programs. Why not cut out the middleman and just hand those tax dollars over directly? Why only Wal-mart and the three or four other companies that employ more than 10K employees in Maryland? Why not all companies? Tenchusatsu
