That's what I meant. My ex-mother in law once worked for a small town
walmart and she said that the store had a full time employee whose sole job
was to set up other employees in welfare and food stamp programs, and
medicaid. Disgusting. All to support the lives of some of our wealthiest
citizens, who if the had no income for the rest of their lives, would live
lavishly on what they already have.

Unless you were including them, don’t forget the public assistance required
by employees. I read once that every Wal-Mart costs American taxpayers
roughly $900,000 per year in public assistance. Even if it’s just half that,
it’s too much. Personally, I think we should bill them for the expense.

Yes, WalMart profits from large subsidies from federal and state
governments, not including local municipalities granting tax breaks for
new construction. This is a growing trend in our near-fascist system,
where giving corporations and wealthy businessmen means to further
increase their wealth at the expense of a larger group is encouraged. But
like many things in the USA, the pendulum will swing back to the other
side eventually. Then another groups oxen are gored.
